DUBLIN MAN Evan Griffin let his dad Joe borrow his GoPro for his trip to Las Vegas, so he could capture some nice holiday memories.

But there was just one problem, Evan admitted on Facebook:

I did not, however, instruct him on how to use it, so my dad being my dad, and a culchie, didn’t know which way to point the f**king thing…

So all Joe’s holiday memories…

Are just Joe.

Joe didn’t get the exact video he wanted, but the one of him marvelling at the fancy Vegas hotels, riding the ‘monorail’ and quoting Forrest Gump is going viral on Facebook.

Personally, we rate Joe as a tour guide. He can take us round Las Vegas anytime.
