Irish Story

[Alan]

The rain was pouring down.

There standing in front of a big puddle outside the pub was an old Irishman, drenched, holding a stick, with a piece of string dangling in the water.

A passer-by stopped and asked, "What are you doing?" 

"Fishing" replied the old man. 

Feeling sorry for the old man, the gent says, "Come in out of the rain and have a drink with me." 

In the warmth of the pub, as they sip their whiskies, the gentleman, being a bit of a smart ass, cannot resist asking,

"So how many have you caught today?" 

"You're the eighth", says the old man.
