Reminded me of this ;)An Irish man walks into apub.
"What'll youhave?" the bartender asks.
"Give me three pintsof Guinness, please," says the man.
The bartender brings himthree pints, and the man proceeds to sip them alternately -- the first one, thenext one, and then the third one, until they're all gone. He then orders threemore.
"Sir,” says thebartender, “I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time.I can keep an eye on you, and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh coldone."
"You don'tunderstand,” the man says. “I have two brothers, one in Australia and one inthe States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd stilldrink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, andwe're drinking together.”
”What a wonderfultradition,” the bartender says, smiling.
Every week after that, theman comes into the bar and orders three beers. But one week, he orders onlytwo. He drinks them and orders two more.
"I know what yourtradition is,” says the bartender sadly, “and I'd just
like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died.""Oh, me brothers arefine,” says the man. “I just quit drinking."
