Loading ...Happy St David’s Day readers. This is the celebration for the patron saint of Wales and to help the festivities along here is a Welsh joke for you:
A farmer was out on his Welsh hillside tending his flock one day, when he saw a man drinking with a cupped hand from the stream which ran down from one of his fields. Realising the danger, he shouted over to the man, ‘Paid a yfed y dwr! Mae’n ych-y-fi!’ [Don't drink the water. It's disgusting!]
The man at the stream lifted his head and put a cupped hand to his ear, shrugged his shoulders at the farmer, and carried on drinking.
Realising the man at the stream couldn’t hear him, the farmer moved closer, ‘Paid a yfed! Dwr ych-y-fi! Defaid yn cachu yn y dwr!’ [Don't drink. Water's disgusting. Sheep poo in the water.]
Still the man couldn’t hear the farmer and so finally the farmer walked right up to the man at the stream and said once more, ‘Dwr yn ych-y-fi! Paid a’i yfed!’. [Water's disgusting. Don't drink it!]
‘I’m dreadfully sorry my good man, I can’t understand a word you say, old boy! Can you speak English?’ said the man at the stream in an English public school accent.
‘Oh I see’, said the farmer, ‘I was just saying, if you use both hands you can get more in…….. !
Hope you enjoyed that little bit of Welsh humour on their national day. We have the St Patrick’s Day soon, so keep an eye out for more holiday humour later this month.
Dan the man.
