Makes sense

I was sitting next to a priest in a pub in Boston
having Irish bean soup and raving about how great it tasted.
Eventually he offered that
“the Irish have a strict rule that this soup have
no more than 239 beans per serving.’
I asked, ”Why the strict rule?”
And in his finest Irish brogue he explained,
“If we added just one more bean it would be too farty.”

Took me a second....
