Drinking in the family


An Irishman visited a local tavern and ordered three beers. When the bartender served him the beers, he lined them up on the bar and began drinking one at a time. Once he had finished the 3 beers, he ordered another round. The bartender offered to the man that he would be glad to draw the beers for him individually so that they would remain cold and fresh.The Irishman replied that he had spent many years drinking beers with his two brothers and he cherished those memories. One of his brothers had been transferred to the Far East and the other to London. By pretending that his brothers were still drinking with him, he was able to reminisce and enjoy himself. The bartender accepted this explanation and, each time the Irishman came to the bar, he continued to serve him the beers in this fashion.One day the Irishman came in and ordered only two beers. The bartender was concerned and offered his condolences, thinking that, perhaps one of the brothers had passed away. "Oh, no'," replied the Irishman, "...they're doing just fine...it's just that I gave up drinking for lent."
