Make that a double
Heeny came up to the other guy in the bar and asked if he could buy him a drink. "Certainly," came the reply.
When they were finishing their pints, Heeney asked the fellow where he was from. "Ireland," he said.
Heeney professed surprise at this information, offered that he too was from Ireland and proposed that the man join him in another round. ”I might as well”, came the reply.
Heeney said that he wished to know where in Ireland his boon companion hailed from. ”Dublin”, said the other.
Heeny said that this beggared belief. He too was from Dublin and he now proposed yet another round in honour of that city.
The evening wore on. Heeny confessed to an overwhelming curiosity as to the attendance at school of his fellow Dubliner. "I graduated in '62 from Saint Mary's," replied this gentleman.
Heeny returned that the coincidence was unbelievable, that he too was a pupil at Saint Mary's and graduated in '62. Another round was ordered.
Some time later, one of the regulars came in and sat down at the bar.
"What's new?" he said to the bartender. "Not much," replied the bartender. "The Heeny twins are drunk again."
