GAA County Nicknames:
Leitrim: “The Wild Rose County”
While Leitrim is a prime flower-spotting destination in Ireland (wild roses bloom throughout northwest Leitrim), Leitrim’s nickname actually has its root in a 19th Century historical romance novel called The Wild Rose of Lough Gill.
Groaner of the Week:
I told my boss three companies were after me and if he wanted to keep me I needed a raise to stay. We haggled for a few minutes, and he gave me a 5% raise.

Brain Teaser:
An elevator is on the ground floor. There are five people in the elevator including me. When the lift reaches the first floor, one person gets out and two people get in. The lift goes up to the second floor, three people get out, five people get in. It then goes up to the next floor up, no-one gets out but 12 people get in. Halfway up to the next floor up the elevator cable snaps, it crashes to the floor. Everyone else dies in the elevator except me. How did I survive?
