Gerry Adams is driving through Belfast and Ian Paisley is driving in the opposite direction. In the middle of the night with no other cars on the road they hit each other head on and both cars go flying off in different directions. Gerry manages to climb out of his car and survey the damages. He looks at his twisted car and says, 'Jaysus, I am really lucky to be alive!' Likewise, Paisley scrambles out of his car and looks at his wreckage. He too says to himself, 'I can't believe I survived this wreck!' Paisley walks over to Adams and says, 'Hey Gerry, I think this is a sign from God that we should put away our petty differences and live as friends instead of such rivals.' Gerry thinks for a moment and says, 'You know Ian, you're absolutely right! We should be friends and together work for a better N. Ireland. Now I'm gonna see what else survived the wreck.' So, Gerry pops open his trunk and finds a full-unopened bottle of Irish Whiskey. He says to Ian, 'I think this is another sign from God that we toast to our new found understanding and friendship.' Paisley says, 'You're damn right!' and he grabs the bottle and starts sucking down the Irish Whiskey. After putting away nearly half the bottle, Ian hands it back to Gerry and says, 'Your turn' Gerry twists the cap back on the bottle and says, 'Nahh, I think I'll wait for the cops to show up.'
