Fibber Magee’s Last Stand
Some time ago we reported that the Republic of Ireland had adopted a blanket smoking ban. Here is some follow-up I found while trolling the overseas Yahoo pages (and staking out my puppy’s nightly poo on the kitchen floor so I can yell at him this time).
Just as in Eugene, the ban has not doomed all drinking establishments, but it has made it a whole lot tougher for some folks’ favorites to stay afloat — an association of rural pubs reports sales drops of 15 to 25 percent. Now a Galway pub called Fibber Magee’s is poised to go the way of Doc’s Pad, and they’re smokin’ ’em if they got ’em.
And sure, Ireland, like Eugene, may smell a bit better now. But we needed it a whole lot more. They freshen up with Irish Spring; over here it’s patchouli.
You should glue a plastic Safeway bag to his doggie butt every night. That should off-set future encounters with kitchen feces.
Good job you! I appreciated the lack of feces this morning!
