Ferry Good Joe was traveling on the high speed HSS ferry from Larne in Northern Ireland to Stranraer in Scotland. He was travelling on to Manchester to spend a week with some friends. With him was Bailey, his six year old Jack Russell dog. About half an hour into the journey, Joe went out onto the small deck area at the rear of the ferry for a smoke. For those of you who dont know, the HSS is not like a conventional ferry; theres only this one area where the passengers can get access to the open air. Anyway, Joe is standing, having a smoke with Bailey at his side. Bailey then spots a seagull flying very close to the rail and, before my friend realises what is happening, Bailey barks and takes a run at the seagull, disappearing over the rail and plunging into the Irish Sea. Joe runs for help but, bearing in mind this is a high speed vessel, already half-way to Scotland and it is, after all, only a dog that has fallen in, it is perhaps not surprising that the captain refuses to turn around to look for the dog. Joe arrived in Stranraer distraught but travels on to Manchester as planned. He spends a rather sad few days with his friends, before travelling back to Northern Ireland, via the same crossing, a week later. He drove to his home in Belfast, parked the car and walked to his front door. Youll never guess what was sitting on his doorstep - . . . . . . . . . . Yep, seven pints of milk. -- SUBSCRIBING: If you have been forwarded this e-mail and are not a member of the Funnies mailing list and would like to join, you should E-mail: [email protected] with the subject Subscribe Funnies Or, depending on your mail reader, you MAY find a clickable link below:
