Did this Irish humour go to far?

Mick and Paddy are out in the country shooting rabbits. Suddenly, right in front of his friend Paddy, Mick falls to the ground, throws a quick spasm, then lies perfectly still.

He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. In fact, he looks pretty well dead !

Quick as a flash, a horrified Paddy whips out his mobile and calls 999.

He gasps breathlessly to the operator...

"Mick just fell to the ground right here in front o' me! He's not breathing. He has no heartbeat! I think he's dead! What can I do ?"

Well accustomed to this sort of situation however, the emergency operator responds with her most soothing tone..

"Okay Paddy, you must try to stay calm. If there's anything can be done, well do it. But you will have to keep your cool, then we can take it one step at a time! Okay now ? "

"Sure! Sure! Of course, your right. I'm fine. Just tell me what must I do?", Paddy Replies.

"Great! Now first of all, lets make sure he's dead." asks the operator.

...The line goes silent, then a shot is heard by the operator..... BANG !

Paddy's voice comes back on the phone....

"OK! What next ?"
