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 !”
