An Irishman walks into a bar and promptly orders 3 Guinness. He sits down, drinks them, pays his tab, and heads home. He repeats this ritual several more nights, until finally the bartenders curiosity gets the best of him:
Why do you come in here every night and order 3 Guinness at the same time? Well, said the Irishman, my two brothers have gone off to war. Before they left, we made a pact that every night at 9pm, wherever we are, and whomever we are with, wed make it a point to share a pint together, and to have a drink in each others honor. The bartender was touched. This went on for awhile until one night, the man came in and solemnly ordered only 2 beers. The bartender was overcome with emotion. As he brought the 2 beers to the mans table he said: I am so sorry for your loss. Oh, my brothers are fine he said, I just quit drinking.
