Six retired Irishmen were playing poker in O'Leary's apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest, and died at the table. Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing standing up.... Michael O'Conner looks around and says,"Oh, me boys, someones got's to tell Paddy's wife. Who will it be??" They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one. The tell him to be very discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse.</p>
"Discreet???? I'm the most discreet Irishman you'll ever meet. Discretion is me middle name...Just leave it to me."</p>
Gallagher goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the door. Mrs. Murphy answers, and asks what he wants. Gallagher declares, "Ye husband just lost $500, and is afraid to come home." "Tell him to drop dead!!" says Murphy's wife...</p>
"I'll go tell him." says Gallager.</p>
