Two Irishmen were sitting in a four
engined plane flying back from a
shopping trip to Paris when the
captains voice came over the
loudspeaker. “Ladies and Gentlemen,
one of the engines appears to have
failed. There’s nothing to worry about
but we will be 15 minutes late in
landing at Gatwick.”
Five minutes later he said, “Nothing to
worry about, ladies and Gentlemen,
but one of the other engines has failed,
and we will now be an hour late.”
A moment later, “Er…sorry about this
ladies and gentlemen, but the third
engine has also given up the ghost and
we will now be two hours later than
expected.”
One of the Irishmen tapped his friend
on the shoulder. “Good heavens,
Patrick, do you realise that if the other
engine fails, we’ll be here all night ?”
