Did you know that the Irish will only put a maximum of 239 beans in soups or stews?

One more would be too farty.

I've heard a variation on this where you count out 40 beans and discard the farty-one.

This joke is beyond gross

I'll explain the joke

A gross is 144 of something, beyond gross is more then 144.

239 beans is more then a gross of beans but less then too (two) gross of beans.

This joke is beyond gross, yet not too gross.

This is funny because it uses two different meanings of gross to subvert a readers initial expectations in a delightful way. This is often considered humor. Dad humor.

Did someone downvote you and you felt offended or something?

Indeed
