"3 Pints of Guinness"
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 finishes them, he comes back to the
bar and orders three more. The bartender asks
him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it
would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two
brothers. One is in America, the other in Australia,
and I'm here in Dublin. When we all left home, we
promised that we'd drink this way to remember
the days when we 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 them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All
the other regulars 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
a light dawns in his eye and he laughs.
"Oh, no," he says, "everyone's fine. I've just quit
drinking for Lent."

"The O'Malleys" (A LadyHawke's Favorite)
Two Irish men meet in a bar. A man stumbles up
to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he
could buy him a drink. "Why, of course," comes
the reply.
The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.
The first man responds: "You don't say, I'm from
Ireland too! Let's have another round to Ireland."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curious, the first man then asks: "Where in Ireland
are you from?"
"Dublin," comes the reply.
"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from
Dublin too! Let's have another drink to Dublin."
"Of course," replies the second man.
Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks:
"What school did you go to?"
"Saint Mary's," replies the second man, "I
graduated in '62."
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I
went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in '62,
too!"
About that time in comes one of the regulars
and sits down at the bar. "What's been going
on?" he asks the bartender.
"Oh, nothing much," replies the bartender.
"The O'Malley twins are drunk again."
