Six retired Irishmen are playing poker in O'Leary's apartment when Paddy Murphy loses $500 on a single hand, clutches his chest and drops dead at the table.

Showing respect for their fallen brother, the other five continue playing, standing up.

Michael O'Connor looks around and asks: "Oh, me boys, someone's got to tell Paddy's wife ! Who will it be ?"

They draw straws. Paul Gallagher picks the short one. They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make an already bad situation any worse.

"Discreet ? I'm the most discreet Irishman you'll ever meet !
Discretion is my middle name. Leave it to me", says Gallagher.

Gallagher goes over to Murphy's house and knocks on the door. Mrs Murphy answers and asks what he wants.

Gallagher declares; "Your husband just lost $500 and is afraid to come home".

"Tell him to drop dead !" says Murphy's wife.

"I'll go and tell him" says Gallagher.
