A FEW WEEKS ago, Sharon Shannon posted a photo of herself and her adorable Dad, and announced that she was going to have “a small RANT”.
What followed was perhaps the greatest Facebook status of all-time.
She introduced her Dad.

And reiterated that her Dad is not the sort who plays the accordion and asks for free booze.
Despite being posted a few weeks ago, the status has gone massively viral over the past 24 hours and now has 19,629 likes. Several people have even commented with stories of meeting the trickster in question.
The main takeaway here? Never, ever mess with Sharon Shannon.
