Charming story, Ella. I do like donkeys. Whenever I hear the word, it brings me way back to my childhood when Babs Keating, manager of Tipperary, said in an interview about his opponents in the Munster hurling final,
"Donkeys don't win derbies."
It offended Cork so much that they used it as motivation to propel them to victory in the 1990 Munster Senior Hurling Final.
