Warsaw Airlines landing

A Polish pilot and co-pilot are approaching JFK and requesting landing clearance. The controller gives them clearance to land on runway 29. The pilot looks down in disbelief at how short the runway is. He asks the controller for confirmation and the controller repeats his instruction and asks him to hurry so they can hold their schedule. So the pilot and co-pilot share a worried look, and then focus hard on executing the shortest landing they've ever attempted. He's sweating profusely as he struggles to maintain the perfect trajectory to touch down at precisely the right angle so that he doesn't come down too hard but also touches down fast enough so he can brake. The instant the nose gear touches down he screams to his co-pilot to help him brake harder than they ever have in their lives. They both stomp on the brakes and pray that they can stop this plan before the landing strip ends. After a brief instant that seemed to last an eternity the plan finally lurches forward and back and the pilots sit in disbelief that they've managed to pull off such a difficult landing. The pilot says "phew that has to be the shortest runway I've ever seen." The co-pilot agrees, but looking out both sides of the cockpit he remarks "But wow it's definitely the widest, by far."
