Beer brothers

A man walks into a pub and says, "Give me three pints of Guinness, please�.


So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately
sip one, then the other, and then the third until they're gone.


He then orders three more and the bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them
cold, so you can start with one and I'll bring you a fresh one as soon as you're
low."


The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia,
and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night
we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts
too and we're drinking together."


The bartender thinks it's a wonderful tradition and every week he sets up the
guy's three beers as soon as he enters in the bar. Then one week, the man comes
in and orders only two. He drinks them, and then orders two more. The bartender
sadly says, "Knowing your tradition, I'd just like to just say that I'm sorry
that one of your brothers died�.


The man replies, "Oh, my brothers are fine - I just quit drinking�.
