Never heard this one before meself...
A couple of lads from Cavan are out hunting for pheasants or something in the woods in a remote region between Cavan and Longford when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. Well, the other fella doesn't know what to do, but he has a moment of inspiration, and he whips out his mobile phone and he rings RTE.
He gasps to the operator in Montrose and he tries to explain the situation as best he can, and says: "Please put me through to Joe Duffy on 'Liveline'
as fast as ye can."
So the operator puts him through, and he starts blabbing away to Joe Duffy: "Joe, Joe, ye have to help me, I don't know what to do! Me best friend is
dead! What can I do?"
Then Joe, in a very calm and soothing voice, says: "OK caller, just take it easy. I can help. First, let's just make absolutely sure he's dead."
... There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
The lad's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK Joe, now what?"
