Curious Gentleman Ask Old Man What He Is Doing. – January 26, 2025 by admin It was raining hard and a big puddle had formed in front of an Irish pub. An old man stood beside the puddle holding a stick with a string on the end and jiggled it up and down in the water. A curious gentleman asked what he was doing. “Fishing,” replied the old man. Poor old fool,” thought the gentleman. So he invited the old man to have a drink in the pub. Feeling he should start some conversation while they were sipping their whisky, the gentleman asked, “And how many have you caught?” You’re the eighth.”
