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 finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders three more . The bartender says to him,
,
you know a pint goes flat after you draw it. ; It would taste better if you bought on at a time .



The Irishman replies, Well, you see I have two brothers.

One in is in America , the other in Australia ,

and I am here in Dublin
.
When we all left home we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we all drank together.

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 the three pints by taking drinks from each of them in turn.

One day, he comes in and orders two pints , All the other regulars in the bar 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 great loss.

The Irishman looks confused for a moment , then the light dawns in his eye and he laughs .

Oh no he says everyone is fine Everyone is fine. its me.... I've quit drinking !
