The Passion of St Malachy
Impaled by Edward-the-Hun (son of Attila) in Drogheda in 872 B.C. (Before Computers)
He is the patron saint of kebab restaurant owners and fencers.
Drogheda remained a Hun enclave until roughly March 2003.
I personally lost a front tooth in that dreadful place in 1997 because some local barbarians did not like the sight of an Elvis lookalike at 2am outside their chip shop.
The Garda on duty tried not to laugh when I walked in with my ripped shirt covered in blood and my left fake side-burn hanging off in a tragicomic manner.
He did not take me to the local hospital though, he was afraid of getting stains on the back seat of his brand new Ford Escort...
He bagged a lot of bad karma for himself that night. He invested his retirement lump sum in Anglo Irish Bank, so I guess there is a divine justice.
As for the bastards who kicked my front tooth out, there is no need for bad karma. They already live in Drogheda.
