PIC: This Mayo guy may be the palest Irish person we’ve ever seen

Joe Harrington

The sun is not a friend of this guy.

Irish people being pale is a long running joke the rest of the world, excluding Scotland, have been making at our expense for a long time.

This famous meme was the pinnacle of the piss-takery.

That is pretty funny to be fair.

Look, we know we’re pale but there’s a man in Mayo whose friends think he might be the palest person in Ireland.

Gary Feehan, from Westport, and his friend Joanne Duffy say they’re “both so pale our skin tone is basically translucent.”

But Joanne got in touch saying she reckons she hasn’t seen anyone in her life as white as Gary and this Snapchat is the proof.

“Gary took a lovely selfie while out running and put some white text over it with some Snapchat magic, and so strong is his pallor that the white text blends into the poor fella’s forehead,” said Joanne.

“The poor fella” is right, he’s actually like Casper the ghost.
If you know somebody that’s even paler than Gary (GOOD LUCK), get in touch with us with a photo and some details about your mate.
Cheers to Joanne Duffy for sending this our way.  If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to [email protected] or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
