Aer Lingus Flight 101 was flying from Dublin to Heathrow one night, with McGarry the Pilot, and Shamus the co-pilot. As they approached Heathrow airport, they looked out the front window. "B'jeesus" said McGarry "Will ye look at how freakin short dat runway is". "You're not fookin kiddin, McGarry" replied Shamus. "Dis is gonna be one a' de trickiest landings you're ever gonna see" said McGarry. "You're not fookin kiddin, McGarry" replied Shamus. "Right Shamus. When I give de signal, you put de engines in reverse" said McGarry. "Right, I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus. "And den ye put de flaps down straight away" said McGarry. "Right,I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus. "And den ye stamp on dem brakes as hard as ye can" said McGarry. "Right, I'll be doing dat" replied Shamus. "And den ye pray to de Mother Mary with all a' your soul" said McGarry. "I be doing dat already" replied Shamus.

So they approached the runway with McGarry and Shamus full of nerves and sweaty palms. As soon as the wheels hit the ground,Shamus put the engines in reverse, put the flaps down, stamped on the brakes and prayed to Mother Mary with all of his soul. Amidst roaring engines, squealing of tyres and lots of smoke, the plane screeched to a halt centimetres from the end of the runway, much to the relief of McGarry and Shamus and everyone on board. As they sat in the cockpit regaining their composure, McGarry looked out the front window and said to Shamus "Dat has gotta be deshortest fookin runway I have EVER seen in me whole life".

Shamus looked out the side window and replied "Yeah McGarry, but look how freakin wide it is".
