Mick
and Paddy are out in the country shooting rabbits. Suddenly, right in front of
his friend Paddy, Mick falls to the ground, throws a quick spasm, then lies
perfectly still.
He
doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. In fact, he
looks pretty well dead! Quick as a flash, a horrified Paddy whips out his mobile
and calls 999.
He
gasps breathlessly to the operator... "Mick just fell to the ground right
here in front o' me! He's not breathing. He has no heartbeat! I think he's dead!
What can I do?"
Well
accustomed to this sort of situation however, the emergency operator responds
with her most soothing tone... "Okay Paddy, you must try to stay calm. If
there's anything can be done, well do it. But you will have to keep your cool,
then we can take it one step at a time! Okay now?
"Sure!
Sure! Of course, your right. I'm fine. Just tell me what must I do?"
"Great!
Now first of all, lets make sure he's dead."
...The
line goes silent, then a shot is heard.....
Paddy's voice comes back down the network.... "OK! What next?"
