One bean more, and it’ll be too farty.
Add two more to that and it’ll be too farty, too
Great joke, but definitely hard to tell in text.
especially since the ar in “farty” is more like a “ahr”
That’s why Irish is in the pretext. Makes it very obvious how it should be pronounced and that the similarities between farty and forty are greater than “normal”.
Really? “Irish” is there to help you even more than necessary.
I’ve heard this joke a thousand times growing up and “Irish” was never used. I think it’s even better when you don’t try to explain the forced pronunciation. More groan inducing as a terrible dad joke and no weird stereotyping.
Also, irish stew doesn’t have beans.
Well it worked for me :)
Okay, but if it’s fewer than 239, then even with one more it will be fewer than 240.
