VIDEO: Auld man walking in Dublin balances massive tree branch on his shoulder like it’s no big deal

Some man for one man

Conor Heneghan

It’s not his first time, we reckon.

The phrase ‘something you don’t see every day’ might be over-used a little but it certainly came to mind when we were sent a video by JOE reader Shane Doyle this afternoon.

Shane spotted an elderly man crossing the street in Ballsbridge with a grocery bags full of miniature tree branches in each arm; fair enough, he must be bringing them home for the fire.

What caught Shane’s and our eye, however, was the massive branch just casually dangling from the man’s shoulder, which he balanced like an absolute boss while hurrying across the road on his way home.

It’s an impressive enough feat on his own, but the music coming from the car Shane was in (LMFAO’s Sexy and You Know it) only serves to increase the appeal of the brief clip above.

What a man.

Cheers to Shane Doyle for sending this our way. If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to [email protected] or find us on Facebook or Twitter.
