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 der 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,put 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 a 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 at ta be de shartist
fookin runway in de world!"
Shamus replied, "Yes, but da ya see how wide it is?"
