Paddy & Mick are walking home after a night on the piss. They’ve
got no money to get a taxi and are staggering all over the place
when they find themselves outside the bus depot.
Paddy has a brain wave and says to Mick, “Get in there and steal
a bus so we can drive home and I’ll stay out here and look out
for the police.”
Mick duly breaks into the garage and is gone for twenty minutes
while Paddy is wondering what the hell he’s doing. Eventually
Paddy sticks his head around the door and sees Mick running from
bus to bus to bus looking very worried.
“What the bleedin’ heck are you doing Mick, get a move on!”
Mick replies, “I can’t find a number 27A anywhere Paddy”
Paddy, holding his hands to his head in disbelief, shouts,
“You fooking idiot Mick, steal a number 42 and we’ll get off at
the roundabout and walk the rest of the way home”
