A man walks into an Irish pub and orders a drink. While he is drinking, he notices a man stand up, call out "32" and watchies in a amazement as the whole bar erupts into fits of laughter. He is a little unsettled at this, but carries on drinking. A little while later, another man stands up and calls out "56". Same thing happens - the whole bar is rolling with fits of laughter. This happens a few more times before he has had enough, so he asks the bartender what the hell is going on.
"Well, you see, we have heard so many Irish jokes over and over again that we have given them numbers. We just call out the number of the joke now. It saves us a lot of effort."
The man is duly impressed, so asks the bartender if he could have a go. The bartender aggrees. The man stands up and calls out :
"87"
and the entire crowd erupts into raucous gulps of lung-busting laughs (like that?). The man is very pleased with himself and, as he sits down, asks the bartender what the joke was. Wiping the tears from his eyes, the bartender states :
"Oh, that was a good one. We haven't heard that one before."
