Default Know Any Good Ones?

About two weeks ago my mate was coming back from holidays in Dubai with his twin babies. Sitting in the seat across from him was Babs Keating and John Leahy returning from the sevens tournament.Babs said "you have your hands full with those two" to which my friend replied pointing to Leahy "I see you brought your baby too"
It just got me thinking there must be a load of great stories of opposing fans putting players in ther place floating around. So, know any good ones?

on one of the social nights before the tournament here in Dubai everyone involved went to a race night at the local track. Needless to say everyone had a skinful; late in the night a glass was dropped and smashed outside on the balcony, upon looking over and seeing the aforementioned Mr. Leahy nearby, a buddy shouts out - "broken glass and John Leahy - there's a shock!".

An American tourist when on holiday in West Cork was telling a local farmer about the size of his farm in America he said that if he got on his horse in the morning and rode all day it would be evening before he had covered all the area of his farm .The West Cork farmer replied yes i feel sorry for you because i also had a horse like yours once
