    Vanishing Road Signs

    What has happened to the county boundary signs?
    I drove from Derry to Sligo last week and there was only one sign marking a boundary - between Derry and Donegal. Otherwise it was hard to know when I had left one county and entered another, particularly confusing south of Bundoran where Donegal and Sligo are separated by a narrow strip of Leitrim land.
    There used to be signs at each county boundary saying "Welcome to County _ _ _ ". Does anyone know why have they been removed?

    Not sure, but drunken students is always a good bet.

"Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked

    that is so you can borrow some money

    to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed

    to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room

    and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
