Paddy is hitch-hiking home, big car pulls up, Merc. Paddy gets in, all wonder. The driver realises he's got a thick gombeen Irishman here and decides to have some fun when Paddy asks about the Mercedes logo on the front. "What's that for?" he asks. Driver says "That, my friend, is a sight. Ye see this guy on the bike here in front? Well now, I just line up the sight, gun the accelerator and ..."
And he roars up to the frightened cyclist, but at the last moment swerves away, laughing. Turning back, he says to Paddy "Close one there! Nearly had him!"
Paddy leans back nonchalantly in the back seat, a grin on his face.
"Sure, no problem boy!" he beams. "Sure didn't I get him with the back door as we went by?"
