An Irishman was touring the USA on holiday and stopped in a remote bar in the hills of Nevada. He was chatting to the bartender when he spied an old Indian sitting in the corner with his tribal gear on, long white plaits, and an incredibly wrinkled face.
"Who's he?" said the Paddy.
"That's the Memory Man." said the bartender. "He knows everything. He can remember any fact. Go on, try him out."
So the Irishman goes over, and thinking that he won't know anything about hurling, asks "Who won the 1996 Munster Semi Final played in the Gaelic Grounds?"
"Limerick," replies the Memory Man.
"Who did they beat?"
"Clare," was the reply.
"And the score?"
"17 points to 1-13."
"Who scored the winning point?"
"Ciarán Carey," was the old man's reply.
The Irishman was knocked out by this and, when he returned home, Told all his friends and relatives about the amazing Memory Man.
Five years later he went back to the USA and tried to find the Impressive Memory Man again. Eventually he found the bar and there, sitting in the same seat, was the Indian, looking older and even more wrinkled.
The Irishman was delighted to see him, and, deciding to greet the Indian in his native tongue, approached him with the greeting "How".
"Magnificent Solo-run out of the half back line in the dying minutes" replied the Memory Man.
