Belfast Air

Stewart Finnigan hadn't seen his brother Shamus for a long
long time. Stewart still lived just outside Belfast, with his
mother and some 20 sheep. Shamus had gone to Canada 20 years
before to work with the Canadian Broadcasting Company.

After a terrible spell of missing his brother, Stewart
decided he would fly to Halifax and see his brother for a
week or two. So he called Belfast Air but was told a seat was
£700 Irish Pounds.

Stewart was amazed . But he had an idea. He had heard
babies could fly for free, so he said to the lady on the
phone, "Can I get a discount because I'm only 4 foot 4 and
only weigh 8 stone". The lady replied. "I'm sorry sir, but a
seat is a seat...size doesn't matter."

A few days later, his friends found Stewart wallowing in a
glass of Ale. He lamented his story to them and they decided
it was time to find a solution to their small friend's
problem. So they called Belfast Air and inquired about the
cost of sending cargo to Canada. They were told the cost
would be £5 Irish Pounds for every "stone" of weight. They
asked about size restrictions and were told the package
couldn't be more then 6 feet high and 4 feet wide or long.
Ah, they had found their solution.

The next day they found their little buddy at the same Pub
but with a different glass of Ale. They explained what they
had done and a smile appeared on Stewart's face.

The next day, Cargo Handlers at Belfast Air were loadin' a
barrel onto an aircraft. On the barrel, was a label:

To: Shamus Finnigan Halifax, Canada

From: Friends of Finnigan Belfast, Northern Ireland
