As they approached Dublin number one 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, put
the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and continued to pray to the Holy
Mother with all his soul. The brakes screeched, the tyres squealed, and
there was smoke everywhere, but, to the relief of all the passengers
and, not not least of all, Paddy and Shamus, the aircraft came to an
abrupt stop barely a metre 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 runway in de world!'
Shamus replied, 'Yes, but da ya see how wide it is?'
PILOT - Bjeesus will ya look how fookin shart dat runway is?
CO-PILOT - Yer nat fookin kiddin, Paddy
