Limerick Joke

In a press conference yesterday, Ross Braun confirmed that Ferrari had fired their entire pit crew. The announcement was followed by Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the Irish Governments "Back To Work Scheme" and hired unemployed youths from Moyross and Southill.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a documentary on how unemployed youths from Limerick were able to remove
a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds with all the mod con tools. This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari management, as most races are won and lost in the pits, they would have an advantage over every team.

However Ferrari's expectations were easily exceeded,
as during the first practice session with the new Limerick crew,
not only did they change the tyres in under six seconds but within
twenty seconds they had the car resprayed, rebadged and sold to the McLaren Team for four dozen cans of Dutch Gold.
