When I lived in Ireland ,I use to travel regularly between there and the UK,

One flight,Heathrow to Dublin,this is before air bridges,when they used to

bus you out to the planes, the plane must have been other side of airport,

even I thought ,its taking a long time, when this little Irish woman pipes up

"Jesus,I thought we were supposed to be flying there".

On a Newcastle to Dublin flight,planes circling Dublin airport,2 businessmen

in the next seat,little worse for drink,ones looking out the window,turns to his

mate, "Paddy,you know the song is right,there are 40 shades of green"

Been on holiday to Florida,where I bought a Garter snake,this is before the

terrorists spoilt the joy of flying,with searches,x rays, so I had the snake in

a paper bag,inside a carrier bag,under the seat, coming into land at Dublin

airport,and a few seats in front theres a commotion,these Irish guys,little pissed

were trying to tell the air hostess they had seen something,looked like a snake !,

the hostesses thought the men were just playing a joke,telling them your seeing

things ,you have had too much to drink.

So I look in the bag,empty!, so as we were disembarking I just managed to grab

it as it was going into an air vent,if it had gotten in there they would have had to

dismantle the inside of the plane to find it.the original "Snake on a plane".

I liked the first one the best.. I can just imagine that little woman...

There's an Irish comedy called "Mrs Brown's Boys" - it's full of such snippets.
