Ireland declare war on Iran

[scotchollie]

In response to the recent 'kidnapping' of 15 British Naval Personnel, the Irish Premier has declared war on Iran.

He phoned the Iranian Ayahtollah and told him that he had 4 Naval Destroyers, 50,000 men and 8 tanks all raring to go.

The Ayahtollah cooly informed him that he had 50 Destroyers, a million fanatical and loyal troops and 450 tanks and that he might like to think again about declaring war.

After a long pause, the Irish Premier says: I can stretch to another Destroyer, conscript an additional 30,000 men and probably rustle up an extra tank, so the war is very much on.

The Ayatollah, considers this briefly, then replies: "Look, We have nuclear capability now. Not only that, I can re-commission another 20 Destroyers, build as many tanks as I need on demand and I can conscript an additional 4 million loyal and fanatical men at the drop of a burkha. Are you sure you want to declare war?"

The Irish Premier thinks awhile and replies: "Okay, the war's off..."

"Good", says the Ayatollah, "did I scare you there?"

"No" says the Premier. "Sure we've nowhere big enough to accommodate all those prisoners.."
