The Irish Declare War On Saddam!

Saddam Hussein was sitting in his office wondering whom to invade
next when his telephone rang. "Hallo, Mr. Hussein!", a heavily accented
voice said. "This is Patrick down at the Harp Pub in County Sligo, Ireland.
I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on ya!"

"Well, Patrick," Saddam replied, "This is indeed important news!
How big is your army?"

"Right now," said Patrick, after a moment's calculation, "there
is meself, me cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the
entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!"

Saddam paused. "I must tell you Patrick, that I have one million men in
my army waiting to move on my command." "Begorra!", said Patrick. "I'll
have to ring ya back!"

Sure enough, the next day, Patrick called again. "Mr. Hussein, the war
is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be, Patrick?" Saddam asked. "Well, we
have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor." Saddam
sighed. "I must tell you, Patrick, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000
armored personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to 1-1/2 million
since we last spoke."

"Saints preserve us!" said Patrick. "I'll have to get back to ya."

Sure enough, Patrick rang again the next day. "Mr. Hussein, the war is
stil on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified
Harrigan's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four
lads from the Shamrock Pub have joined us as well!"

Saddam was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell
you, Patrick, that I have 1,000 bombers and 2,000 fighter planes. My
military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile
sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!", said Patrick,

"I'll have to ring ya back."

Sure enough, Patrick called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr.
Hussein! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Saddam. "Why the sudden change of
heart?"

"Well," said Patrick, "we've all had a long chat over a bunch o' pints,
and decided there's no way we can feed two million prisoners."

God Bless the Irish !!!
