To the best of our knowledge, the author is unknown.An American farmer from the Midwest was visiting an Icelandic farm. He was bragging about how big his US farm was.
He told the Icelandic farmer, “I can go out my door, get in my jeep and drive for twelve hours before I reach the end of my farm. If I go out my door and drive in the other direction, I can drive for another twelve hours before I reach the end of my farm.”
The Icelandic farmer paused and said, “Já, I used to have a jeep like that.”Dublin’s Red Adair
The oil well had been on fire for over ten days. Nothing like it had ever been seen in Saudi Arabia. The world’s experts had come, tried and failed to extinguish the blaze. Even Red Adair had had to admit defeat. What to do? Put up a reward! Yes, that was the answer.
So the emir offered twenty million dollars to anyone who could put out the fire and the world’s press printed the news. For two days there were no takers and then suddenly, out of nowhere, over a huge sand hill came a jeep. Emerald green in color, it was, bearing the logo ‘Murphy’s of Finglas’.Sixty, maybe seventy, miles an hour the jeep hurtled towards the flames with a dozen red-faced Irishmen hanging on for dear life. Into the center of the maelstrom raced the vehicle spilling the men on to the burning oil. Up and down they hopped, stamping fiercely with their Wellington boots until gradually, ever so gradually, the flames abated and the fire was snuffed out.
‘Bravo, bravo,’ bellowed the delighted emir. ‘You have more than earned the twenty million dollars. Now tell me, what’s the first thing you’ll do with the money? Holidays, Rolls-Royces, houses, what?’
‘Well,’ said Murphy, ‘the first thing we’re going to do is get the brakes fixed on that jeep!’
