Pat and Tom where brothers who had never set foot outside of their parish when they decided to head off to see New York City.  They boarded a plane in Shannon and settled in for the flight.  After a few hours of flying there was an announcement.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen this is the captain, I'm afraid we're having a little problem with one of the engines, it has shut down.  This is perfectly safe we still have 3 good engines.  Our arrival in New York will be delayed by about 30 minutes, we're sorry for any inconvenience"

 

Tom was the more nervous of the two brothers and Pat reassured him, "It's fine, 3 engines is pleanty".

 

Shortly afterwards there was another announcement.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen this is the captain, I'm afraid we've lost power in a second engine.  This is still perfectly safe we can fly perfectly well on 2 engines.  Our arrival in New York will be delayed by about 1 hour, we're sorry for any inconvenience"

 

Tom looked worried and Pad reassured him again, "It's fine, only an hour late".

 

Then a third announcement.

 

"Ladies and gentlemen this is the captain, I'm really sorry about this, I know some of you are getting anxious.  We seem to have lost a third engine.  We are still perfectly safe, we can fly one one engine.  We'll be 2 hours late arriving in New York."

 

Tom was very worried now, he turned to Pat and asked "What happens if we lose the last engine".

 

Pat replied calmly, "We'll be up here all day".

Two elderly women  were out driving in a large car - both could barely see over the dashboard.  As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through.  The woman in the passenger seat thought to  herself "I must be losing it. I could have sworn we just went through a red  light."

 

After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection and the light was red again. Again, they went right through. The woman in the passenger seat was almost sure that the light had been red but was really concerned that she was losing it. She was getting nervous.

 

At the next intersection, sure enough, the light was red and they went on through. So, she turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred, did you know that we just ran through three red lights  in a row? You could have killed us both!"

Mildred turned to her and said, "Oh, my goodness, am I driving?
