It was the end of the Gulf War. The Arabs stared over at the oil fields and watched the mburning. Day and night the flames roared into the sky. The Arabs pondered on how they weregoing to put out the fires when one Arab suggested that they ring "Red Adare’. Red Adarewas contacted but informed the Arabs that he was busy for the next six months. Red Adaretold the Arabs that they should ring his cousin Paddy O’Dare from County Mayo in Ireland.
An Arab got on the phone and contacted Paddy. The Arab explained the problem with the oilfields to Paddy and asked if he could help. Paddy Replied: "No Problem." The Arab askedhim how quick he could get there and how much would it cost?. Paddy Replied: "I can be there in 10 Hours and it’ll cost ya" £10, 000""Great" said the Arab and hung up the phone.
The Arabs waited in the desert, still watching the flames shooting into the sky, when allof a sudden a transit with four Paddys comes roaring over the sand dunes and head straightinto the oil field. The Arabs shouted to no avail, and the transit drove straight into oneof the burning rigs. They jumped out and stamped the fire out. The Arabs watched withamazement and just a little later the oil rig fire was out. The four Paddys walked to the Arabs and one said. . . ."Wow. . that was rough !"
The Arab, while writing the check for £10, 000, said to Paddy;"And what are you going to buy with all this money?"
Paddy Replied: "Well, first off I’m going to buy a new set of brakes for the Transit !"
