a guinness joke
i prolly shouldn't post this but...
the list is rather quiet today...
and...this is jack's favourite beverage of choice.
(how's that for otr content?) enjoy:
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of
Guinness and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of
each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three
more. The bartender approaches and tells him, "You know, a pint
goes flat after I draw it, it would taste better if you bought one
at a time.
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is in
America, the other is in Australia and I'm in Dublin. When we all left
home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we
drank together. So I drink one for each o'me brothers and one for me
self."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.
The Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the
same way: He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars
take notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the
second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your
grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The Irishman looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns and
he laughs. "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," He explains, "It's just
that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit
drinking. It hasn't affected me brothers though."
tranquilly,
david
