An Omagh plumber tunnelled a hole from under his bed to the local pub 800 feet from his house over the course of 15 years, a court heard today.


quote:

Kerr explained how he spent the last five years heading to the pub via his tunnel at 11pm before returning at 1am, undetected by his deep sleeping wife:


quote:

“To be honest I was sort of glad I was caught. She was always smelling drink off me in the morning and I was explaining it away as a natural odour. But recently I was finding myself singing rebel songs and stuff coming back up the tunnel and it was only a matter of time before I was caught anyhow. The landlord was also wondering how I was just appearing out of nowhere at the same time every night and disappearing from the women’s toilets.”

So one day, he was just thinking to himself...

I bet I can build a tunnel over there.

I need to see pictures of this.

“The wife has a bad snore on her and after watching the Shawshank Redemption on RTE one night in 1994, I decided to do something about it so I waited til she was in a deep sleep and then set about digging a hole under the bed in the direction of the pub. I used all manner of tools from spoons to a heavy duty tunnel boring machine I managed to sneak down there when she was at the shops. It wasn’t until 2009 that I hit the jackpot and came up through the women’s toilet mop and bucket room.”

If his wife is such deep sleeper, why didn't he just walk to the Pub like a normal person? I don't see how the tunnel helped him in anyway.

This is one of the best stories I've heard in a long time.

ETA: Hopefully it's not fake. I'd like to believe.

How do you sneak a tunnel boring machine ANYWHERE, much less into a tunnel that starts in your bedroom?
