What's that supposed to mean?  -------
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti... "I've just had an apostrophe!" "I think you mean an epiphany..." | |

I am.
I became an Irish traveler because Catholics were getting such a bad rep with all of these sex scandals going on. 
The Irish Travelers immigrated, like the Romnichels, from the mid to late nineteenth century. The Irish Travelers specialized in the horse and mule trade, as well as in itinerant sales of goods and services; the latter gained in importance after the demise of the horse and mule trade. The literature also refers to this group as Irish Traders or, sometimes, Tinkers. Their ethnic language is referred to in the literature as Irish Traveler Cant. | |

The politically correct term I believe is "member of the travelling community" but the more commonly used term is "knackers"  Which is a bit offensive so don't say it. | |

I think they call them gypsys, tramps, and thieves! And what was up with that woman? Did you see she went from blond to brunet in 24 hours! Go figure. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |
