The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.

ONCE THERE WERE TWO IRISHMEN WHO WERE WALKING
THROUGH A FOREST. ONE SOON REMARKED AND
COMMENTED ON THE LOVELINESS OF THE SUNSET. THE
OTHER ABRUPTLY DISAGREED AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE
MOON AND NOT THE SUNSET. THEY KEPT ARGUING FOR
HOURS ON WHO WAS RIGHT, UNTIL THEY CAME ACROSS
A THIRD IRISHMAN SITTING ON A LOG. THEY TOLD
HIM THEIR ARGUMENT AND ASKED HIM TO TELL THE
JUDGE. HE REMARKED: "DON'T ASK ME, I DON'T
LIVE AROUND HERE."
