The bus was on time, Pa’s was packed, the chips and cocktail sausages went down great and the strip show for the men worked a treat. Then Barry the Pole and Paul from down Pontoon way got up on stage. Well nearly all the men went out for a smoke at that stage except young Stevie Reilly from the Back Road and Marty Doheny: you wouldn’t mind Marty staying sure he’s stone mad.
Anyway the lads were giving it loads and no sooner had Barry the thong off but didn’t Big Maggie Henderson who was sittin’ at the front lunge at him like a thing possessed. She yanked, pulled and dragged him all over the place. Didn’t a few other pensioners start to join in at that stage. Poor aul’ Barry ended up with a ferocious groin strain and bad bruising in the tackle area. Dr. Mc Donald says it could take a month for the swelling to go down. Maggie was unrepentant and went home shouting ‘kill all turkeys,’ ‘kill all turkeys,’. She farmed turkeys for years until she lost an eye when one savaged her two years ago. She is up on an assault charge at next weeks court sitting.
