Over the emerald isle, on final approach...

[Britpara]

As they approached Dublin number 1 runway, the tower heard:

PILOT - Bjeesus will ya look how fookin shart dat runway is?

CO-PILOT - Yer nat fookin kiddin, Paddy

PILOT - Dis is ganna be one a de trickiest landings ever, Shamus !

CO-PILOT - Yer nat fookin kiddin, Paddy !!

PILOT - Right, Shamus, when I say 'go' put de engine in reverse !!

CO-PILOT - Royt, I'll do dat !!

PILOT - An den ya put de flaps down !!

CO-PILOT - Royt, I'll do dat, too !!

PILOT - An den stamp an de brakes as hard as yer can an pray ta de Holy

Mudder a Gad !!!

CO-PILOT - I'm prayin already, but I'll hit de brakes as hard as I can.

So, as the wheels hit the ground, Shamus put the engines in reverse, puts the

flaps down, stamped on the brakes and continued to pray to the Holy Mother

with all his soul. The brakes screeched, the tires squealed, and there was

smoke everywhere, but, to the relief of all the passengers, and, not least

of all, Paddy and Shamus, the aircraft came to stop but a few meters from

the end of the runway!!!

As Paddy and Shamus sat in the cockpit regaining some composure, Paddy

looked out of the window and said to Shamus, "Dat has gat ta be de shartist

fookin runway in de world!"

Shamus replied, "Yes, but da ya see how fookin wide it is?"

Ah , but only an Irish pilot could pull that off!!

[Just Plain Ruff]

the last landing I went thru felt like that.

Another reason NOT to fly..... :wink: :wink: :wink:

as long as they don't hit the end of the runway then I'm ok with landing.
