We recently asked our readers to tell us their refreshing truths to be in with a chance of winning an iPad.
The response has been fantastic, so we’ve decided to share some of our favourites with you. Anonymously, of course.
So without further ado, here are some of the best.
“Sometimes I pretend to be fluent in Chinese and use the four words I know, to charm the ladies.”
We thought this was a pretty cool story until we realised there was no such language as Chinese.
“I once spent the guts of a work day detailing what would be involved in my Wrestlemania entrance if I was to ever have one. The pyro, the music, the costume and the match I would be involved in.”
You are not alone my friend.
“If I wipe down my vacuum cleaner with a towel, I’m making my vacuum cleaner. Therefore I am also a vacuum cleaner.”
Mind. Blown.
“I visit JOE.ie every morning prior to talking to my girlfriend or even considering getting up for work.”
Good to see somebody has their priorities in check.
“On the way back to the Metro while in Barcelona, I got an unbelievable urge to have a piss. The metro station had no toilets, and needless to say, I pissed myself.”
Awkward…
“I think the blanket defence in Gaelic football is a fine art when done right.”
Very brave indeed.
“There is not an Instagram filter in the world that will make a photo of your dinner interesting.”
Can you describe how your jealousy tastes?
“I bought a ring to propose to my girlfriend, but on the way to pop the question I bottled it, returned the ring and bought a PS4.”
Simulated love over the real stuff. Interesting.
“Every conversation held between two Irish people will eventually lead to a Father Ted reference.”
Small. Far away.
And finally, the winner of the iPad…
“Kiwis taste great with the skin on. I eat them the same way you would eat an apple and it’s fantastic.”
You are a strange, strange person.
So there you have it, the truth of a nation. Thanks for sharing.
Sprite, the truth is refreshing.
