Dingle's Famous Dolphin

 Dingle is a little (and the only) town on the eponymous peninsula.  It's main industries are tourism, fishing, and agriculture.  And also Fungie the Dingle Dolphin.

You should probably say that to yourself a few times.  We'll wait.

So Fungie is a bottlenose dolphin who has broken contact with his own kind to hang out with humans.  He hangs out with the tour boats who go out to see him, and there's a sculpture of him near the harbor. (See?)  Fungie is 25, which is old for dolphins, so if you want to see him, you should probably go sooner rather than later.

We did not, unfortunately, have time to see Fungie, so we drank whiskey and ate some of Dingle's famous sea-salt ice cream instead. 

Dolphins murder for fun.
