Old man O'Malley had worked down at the brewery for years, but one day he just wasn't paying attention and he tripped on the walkway and fell over into the beer vat and drowned. The foreman thought it should be his job to inform the Widow O'Malley of her old man's death. He showed up at the front door and rang the bell. When she came to the door, he said, I'm sorry to tell you, but your poor husband passed away at work today when he fell into the vat and drowned. She wept and covered her face with her apron and after a time, between sobs, she asked, Tell me, did he suffer? Knowing Brian O'Malley as well as I did, I don't think so, said the foreman, He got out three times to go to the men's room.
