| Three Irish brothers, each less than a year apart, are sitting in the pub one night. The had gone to school together, studied together, played together, did everything together. But now they were in their 20's and it was time for them to make their way in the world. One bother is staying in Ireland, one is going to Australia, and the third, to New York City. They made a pact that no matter where they were, whenever they went into a pub, they would always order not one but three beers in honor of the other two.
The brother arrived in New York, and after getting settled, found the nearest pub. He asked the bartender for 3 beers.
When the bartender drew and seved the 3 beers, he explained that the Irishman could order them one at a time, and that's when the Irishman explained about the pact and always ordering 3 at a time, in honor of the other two. And so it went every night.
The following Monday night the Irishman ordered only two beers. "Oh my God", thought the bartender. "how do I handle this?"
As he served the 2 beers, the bartender said, " I'm so sorry you suffered such a loss, was it your brother in Ireland or the one in Australia who passed away?"
"Ah, nothing like that, I spoke to them just last night."
"Then why only 2 beers?" asked the bartender.
"Me wife put me on a diet." |
