Funny Fone

Many of our Irish readers will have worked with the subject of our following little fun story.  Others may be familiar with him from his TV, newspaper and other media appearances.  Niall O 'Loughlin for those who are not aware is a massively talented cartoonist and artist who performs at weddings & corporate events and also paints exceptional commisions.  His story, which appeared on Facebook, shows us magicians aren't the only ones getting these odd enquiries.  Niall posts on Facebook...

"Just had a woman on the phone looking to book someone to "do de drawings" at her daughters 21st, she nearly had a heart attack when I gave her a price, told me she met a homeless guy on Grafton street who was drawing on the paths and he said he'd he'd do it for a €100, I told her I'd end up with him if I charged that! I said but ye but his drawings probably don't look like the people and she said that didn't matter!!!! I told her to give one of her nephews or nieces a crayon and a sketch pad and save herself a few quid, she say's jaysus dat's a great idea!! honest!!!"
