Stop in for a cup of coffee

An Irish man walks into a bar and asks the bartender if he knows if there might be someone else in the bar who is from Ireland.

The bartender points to a man sitting alone at a table and says “Well, that guy came in about 20 minutes ago and says he is from Ireland.”

The man orders a pint and walks over to introduce himself to the guy sitting at the table.

He says “So, the bartender says you might be from Ireland. I’m from Ireland, can I join you?”

The guy at the table looks at him and says “Sure! Let’s sit together and have a pint!”

The man sits down and as they finish their beer he says “I’m from Dublin, where are you from?”

The guy says gleefully “Well, what do you know! I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to celebrate Dublin!” And they order another round.

They order another round and after a bit, the guy says “Do you know of a little hamlet near Dublin called Franklin?”

The man says “Know it? I grew up there!”

“Really?!” says the guy “I grew up there too! Let’s have another drink to Franklin!” And they order another round.

After a bit, the man asks “Did you know of a school teacher there named Mrs. Pattylack?”

The guy answers “Know her? She was my Fourth grade teacher!” The man replies “Really? she was my Fourth grade teacher too! Let’s have another drink to toast Mrs Pattylack!” And they order another round.

While this is going on, another customer who has been watching says to the bartender “Wow, look at that. What are the odds of two Irish guys here in America meeting and having so much in common?”

The bartenders says “Nah, that’s just the O’Malley brothers getting drunk again.”
