The Cavanman rides again. At last, more Cavan jokes! These jokes have proved very popular and sold well in Monaghan, Fermanagh, Leitrim, Longford and Meath and all over Ireland, but strangely enough not in Cavan itself, where the one copy was on permanent desk reserve. Des MacHale has written joke books featuring Kerrymen, Corkmen, Mayomen, Dubliners, Cavanmen, Englishmen and even Scotsmen. Who knows where the fickle finger of fun may land next? MacHale believes that the way forward is to literally laugh our way out of this depression. So enjoy and laugh yourself into happier times. A beggar came up to a Cavanman in the street and said: 'can I tap you for a tenner?' The Cavanman replied 'Look, for a tenner you can knock me down and walk all over me.'
