Paddy and Mick are on holiday in Ibiza for a fortnight, but are bored after 4 days. They have boozed quite heavily for the 4 days, and are sitting by the pool chatting.
Paddy: “Mick, I’m bored, let’s go do something.”
Mick: “What like Paddy?”
Both put their thinking caps on, drink for another hour in silence, then Mick has a brainstorm…
Mick: “I know Paddy, let’s invade Russia.”

Paddy agrees, and they waste no time going to the nearest telephone to call them up. After arguing for ten minutes with the hotel receptionist, she gets them the number for the Kremlin, and off they go.
Mick telephones them, as he has been elected spokesperson…
Mick: “Hello, is that Russia?”
Russian: “Yes, dis is de Kremlin, can I help you?”
Mick: ” It’s Mick & Paddy here, we just wanted to give you warning that we are going to invade you this weekend.”
Russian: “And why would that be sir?”
Mick: “We’re bored here on holiday, and you were what we came up with.”
Russian: “Mick, do you realise that we are Russia, a mighty world superpower?”

Mick: “Yes, but we do not care, we are going to invade anyway.”
Russian: “Do you realise that we have 7000 tanks in our armoury, plus hundreds of Armoured Cars. Do you have any tanks Mick?”
Mick: “Nope, no tanks, but we do have an ex-RUC landrover that we bought at an auction lately. We don’t care anyway, we are still gonna invade.”
Russian: “Well, what about Air Support - do you have any aircraft? We have 2000 fighter planes, 150 Attack Helicopters, 150 Bombers, plus numerous stealth aircraft I do not care to discuss. Are you sure that you still want to invade?”
Mick: “Yes definitely, we don’t care about that.”
Russian: “Mick, we have 4 Aircraft Carriers, 25 Destroyers, several small gunships, plus 6 nuclear sub-marines. Do you have any Naval power?”
Mick: “Well, apart from a 12-foot punt Paddy has at home, we do not. We don’t care about that, we are still coming to invade, we are bored.”
Russian: “Mick, we have 650,000 ground troops, how many do you have?”
Mick: “Well there is really only me and Paddy to be honest, but I’m sure if we phoned home, we could come up with a few more blokes.” Mick pauses for a moment, then says, “Can you hang on a moment, whilst I discuss this again with Paddy?”
The Russian thinks that Mick has finally seen sense, so he waits a moment, quite satisfied he has scared the man off. He can hear a heated discussion going on in the background between the two drunken Irishmen.
Mick: “Uh, we have decided that we might not actually invade after all.”
Russian: “Oh, we have scared you off. Was it our superior Airpower that scared you away?”
Mick: “Nope.”
Russian: “Maybe it was our superior Navy?”
Mick: “Nope.”
Russian: “Then it must have been our tanks and armoured cars?”
Mick: “Nope.”
Russian: “So you finally thought about our sheer numbers of troops, and this scared you off?”
Mick: “Nope. To be honest, we discussed it and decided we wouldn’t bother.”
Russian: “Might I ask why then?”
Mick: “Yes, we had no idea what the hell we were gonna do with all the prisoners!”
