It was the end of the Gulf War. 

The Arabs stared over at the oil fields and watched them burning. 

Day and night the flames roared into the sky. 

The Arabs pondered on how they were going to put out the fires when one Arab suggested that they ring 'Red Adare'. 

Red Adare was contacted but informed the Arabs that he was busy for the next six months. Red Adare told the Arabs that they should ring his cousin Paddy O'Dare from County Mayo in Ireland. 

An Arab got on the phone and contacted Paddy. The Arab explained the problem with the oil fields to Paddy and asked if he could help. 

Paddy Replied: "No Problem." 

The Arab asked him how quick he could get there and how much would it cost?. 

Paddy Replied: "I can be there in 10 Hours and it'll cost ya' £10,000" "Great" said the Arab and hung up the phone. 

The Arabs waited in the desert, still watching the flames shooting into the sky, when all of a sudden a transit with four Irish men come roaring over the sand dunes and head straight into the oil field. 

The Arabs shouted to no avail, and the transit drove straight into one of the burning rigs. They jumped out and stamped the fire out. 

The Arabs watched with amazement and just a little later the oil rig fire was out. The four Irish men walked to the Arabs and one said...."Wow..that was rough!" 

The Arab, while writing the check for £10,000, said to Paddy; "And what are you going to buy with all this money?"

Paddy Replied: "Well, first off I'm going to buy a new set of brakes for the Transit!"
