Why did the Irishman make beans with 239 beans?

Cause 1 more would be 240 (read in an Irish accent, sounds like too farty)

Imagine if Americans switched from pounds to kilograms overnight.

There would be a mass confusion

How many beans are in a can?

239, one more and you’d be too farty

Opening a can of beans

My son was opening a can of beans.

"You know", I said, "they can only put 239 beans in a can".

"Why?"

"They don't want to make it too farty (240)!"

Dad is full of hot air

I was having dinner with a friend's family. Her grandmother starts telling us about her secret to cooking digestible beans. She says the secret is to boil them with a little baking soda to release excess gas.

Her dad is listening and perks up when she says this. "you know her real secret right? She only cooks 239 beans at a time"

We all look at him puzzled, grandma included.

"Well if she cooked one more they would be too farty!" (240)
