Irish pilots
Aer Lingus Flight 101 was flying from Heathrow to Dublin one night, with Paddy the pilot and Declan the co-pilot. As they approached Dublin airport, they looked out the front window.
"B'jeesus," said Paddy. "Will you look at how feckin short that runway is." "Yer not feckin kiddin, Paddy," replied Declan. "Dis is goin ter be one a' the trickiest landings you are ever goin ter see," said Paddy. "Yer not feckin kiddin, Paddy," replied Declan. "Right Declan. When I give the signal, you put ta engines in reverse." "Right, I'll be doing dat." "And ten you put the flaps down straight away." "Right, I'll be doing dat." "And ten you stamp on tem brakes as hard as you can." "Right, I'll be doing dat." "And ten you pray to da Mother Mary with all a' your soul." "Right, I'll be doing dat." They approached the runway with Paddy and Declan full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground, Declan put the engines into reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all his soul. With roaring engines, squealing tyres and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of Paddy, Declan and everyone on board. Paddy looked out the front window and said to Declan, "Dat has gotta be the shortest feckin runway I have EVER seen in my whole life." Declan looked out the side window and replied, "Yeah Paddy, and the feckin widest, too."
