An American tourist travelling in county Clare came across a little antique shop in which he was lucky enough to pick up,for a mere 200 EURO'S($350),
the skul of Brian Boru*.
Included in the price was a certificate of the skull's authenticity,signed by Brian Boru himself.
Fifteen years later the tourist returned to Ireland and asked the man from Clare,who owned the antique shop,if he had any more bargins.
'I've got the very thing for you,'said the shopkeeper,'It's the genuine skull of Brian Boru.'
'You cheat,exploded the American,'You sold me that fifteen years ago,'and producing the skull loudly,'look, they're not even the same size.'
'You have got it wrong,'opined the seller,"this is the skull of Brian Boru when he was a lad.'
*Brian Boru(940 to 1014)managed the rare feat of uniting ireland.In a turning point in the war with the vikings,Brian Boru defeated the the viking leader in single combat.
brian also had 4 wives,and founded the O'Brian clan.
