Won't get it in in time but here goes

Paddy and Seamus are pilots flying Air Lingus in to a small island. As they approach the airport, Paddy shouts:

"Bejaysus, Seamus would you look at the size of that runway ! Must be the shortest feckin runway in the world!"

"You're not wrong there Paddy" is the reply "When we approach, I'll whack up the flaps all they'll go, and you smack on the reverse thrust"

"I'll be doing that Seamus"

"As soon as we touch down hit those brakes for all you have!"

"I'll be doing that Seamus"

"And pray to Mother Mary for all you're worth!"

"I'm already doing that Seamus!"

So, the plane approaches - the flaps go up, reverse thrust goes on full whack and the second the wheels touch down the screech of all the brakes can be heard over the two pilots mutting Hail Marys for all they are worth. The plane finally comes to a standstill 6 inches from the edge of the runway.

"Phew" says Paddy "We made it. Bejaysus that is the shortest feckin runway in the whole wide world"

"To be sure" says Seamus "But would you look how feckin wide it is ?!"
