Sheep Thrills
My wife and I recently returned from a trip to Ireland. On the Dingle Peninsula, we stopped to see some 'famine huts' in a farmer's field. On the way back down from the field, my wife needed to use the portable toilet the farmer had set up. When she was finished she said, "Come see this!" On the inside of the door was this peculiar sign.
We talked to the farmer and asked if the sheep were still a problem and he said, "Nah…gone to market!" and the three of us shared a great laugh.
We found this to be one of those Europe through the back door moments.
