That's why Irish is in the pretext. Makes it very obvious how it should be pronounced and that the similarities between farty and forty are greater than "normal".
I've heard this joke a thousand times growing up and "Irish" was never used. I think it's even better when you don't try to explain the forced pronunciation. More groan inducing as a terrible dad joke and no weird stereotyping.

Great joke, but definitely hard to tell in text.

Really? "Irish" is there to help you even more than necessary.

especially since the ar in "farty" is more like a "ahr"

Okay, but if it’s fewer than 239, then even with one more it will be fewer than 240.
