I have mints on my tongue! MINTS!

Once, back in the old country, we had this day where the entire village ran around sticking mints on everybody's elbows. Then we would scream "Shamus has a mint-bow! Shamus has a mint-bow!" But it wasn't always Shamus with the minted elbows so you would have to change the yell to be accurate for each individual. Naturally this was quite chaotic and resulted in many laughs. Well, mostly, except for that one time when O'Brian tried to duck a good minting and took one in the eye. That wasn't funny at all. He ran around screaming "You bloody fool! You minted my bleeding eye!" He really did make quite the fuss over it, running around with his hands flailing in the air like that... It was such a sight to behold that one thought the Lord above had come down and changed the rules to our precious village. O'Brian never saw the well coming up (his eyes were tearing up something awful)...

He is stuck at the bottom of the well to this day, and once a year we throw mints at him. Oh how we laugh.

The End
