Waterford Lad Named Reincarnation Of Buddhist Spiritual Leader By Dalai Lama

BUDDHIST followers around the world aren’t questioning the wisdom of the Dalai Lama, but have asked him to double and indeed triple-check if he’s 100% certain that Waterford gurrier Deco Price is really the reincarnated soul of one of their most revered spiritual leaders.

“The young boy is… certainly not what we were expecting,” said one Buddhist devotee we spoke to, as 14-year-old Price was named as Khalkha Jetsun Dhampa Rinpoche, the third highest-ranking leader of the faith.

“He has a few more convictions for anti-social behaviour than one would expect for a reincarnated soul of one of the most peaceful people on earth, and if the Dalai Lama is correct, then Master Price will be the first Rinpoche to have a Liverpool FC tattoo on his backside. Which… is nice, we suppose”.

Price himself was understandably surprised by the news of his appointment, but celebrated it nonetheless by going on a Pernot binge with his pals before ripping around the green on a quadbike until the cops came to chase everyone off.

“I’m the Dalai Lama’s vice president, you cunts!” Price was heard to yell at the guards as he sped off, leaving Buddhists again questioning if their leader hadn’t gotten this one wrong by a few lines of longitude.
