A man is driving along in the Irish
countryside, when he
comes to a petrol station, since he’s in need of
petrol, the man decides
to stop. He says to the attendant at the
station, „Fill it up, will
you?“. The man says „Sorry – we’re right
out of petrol.“ So the man
considers, and says „Well, I’m a bit low
on oil, would you mind
topping that up?“ And the attendant
responds“Sorry, but no oil either.“
The man thinks, and asks the attendant
to wash his windscreen, to which
he gets the by-now predictable
response that he can’t do that. The man
at this point is fairly mad,
so he asks the attendant „Just what kind
of petrol station is this
?“ The attendant then looks both ways, and
very carefully whispers
to the man „To tell you the truth, this is just
an IRA front.“
The man then says „Well, in that case, you can blow up the tyres
!“
