Kissing The Blarney Stone


Legend Of Kissing The Blarney Stone
Legend Of Kissing The Blarney Stone
When visiting Ireland, the emerald isle, one of the favorite tourist destinations is Blarney Castle, where thousands of tourists line up each and every day to kiss the Blarney Stone to receive the fabled "Gift Of Gab." But to kiss the stone, is a wee bit complicated. You see, the Blarney stone is embedded in Blarney castle, perched 83 feet above the ground.

Each person wishin to kiss the stone must lie on their backs, and slowly get lowered down by two friends, (They should be two really good friends) and then, while you are turned upside down, you are ready to pucker up. If your friends lose their grip on you, you will plunge to certain death.

Psst....Hey, over here. Just a little tip for all you tourists puckering up. I have it on very good authority that the local young menfolk like to pull practical jokes on tourists. One of their favorites is to sneak into the castle area at night and relieve themselves all over the Blarney Stone. Bring your mouthwash.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
