Paddy the Irishman, when the plane's going down .....
An Irish man, an English man, a Scots man and a Welsh man were all on an airplane together when one of the engines fails.
The pilot explains the situation to the all of the passengers. He tells them if someone doesn't jump out they will all be dead.
Gotta Love Paddy The Irishman .....
He asks who is prepared to die for the greater good, adding that they will be remembered as a hero forever.
The brave Scots man says 'Ok then, i will do this for the glory of my country' and jumps out.
The pilot turns around and tells the remaining passengers that the plane is still going down and someone else must do the right thing.
The Welsh man tells every one that as he is the oldest out of all the passengers, he will take the plunge, so he jumps out .
Again the pilot turns around and says, its helping but we need 1 more to jump for the rest of the passengers to survive.
So the Irish man says 'well I hoped it wouldn't come to this, but I will do this for the greater good and for the glory of my country.
So he grabs the English man and throws him out the door.
oh ya... the Irish and English don't get along...funneh!
(funnier if he threw the pilot out the door)
The version I heard was:
A young English guy went mountaineering in South America and had to take a short haul flight in a small plane with an Irishman, Scotsman and a Welshman as his co-passengers. After one engine cut out the pilot announced that someone would have to bale out to give the rest a chance to land safely - this has to work as there is only one parachute on board! Paddy quickly weighs up the situation & reckons that the parachute offers the best chance of survival so grabs it, straps it on and jumps out without further discussion. The others are too surprised to stop him but the Scotsman asks "What do we do if someone else has to baleout?" The English guy said "Relax. I'll do it........Paddy jumped with my rucksack!!"
One thing is for sure.The irish can't play Rugby. Even the Italians beat them.
Apologies to our American friends if this is intelligible.
