Drowning Sorrows

"Drowning Sorrows"

The distressed-looking man had downed
several drinks in rapid succession before
the bartender asked him, "You trying to
drown your sorrows, buddy?"

"You could say that," the guy replied.

"It usually doesn't work, you know."

"No crap," the man moaned. "I can't even
get my wife anywhere near the water!"

"Lonesome"

A businessman enters a tavern, sits down
at the bar, and orders a double martini on
the rocks. After he finishes the drink, he
peeks inside his shirt pocket, then orders
the bartender to prepare another double
martini.

After he finishes that it, he again peeks
inside his shirt pocket and orders the
bartender to bring another double martini.

The bartender says, "Look, buddy, I'll bring
ya' martinis all night long - but you gotta tell
me why you look inside your shirt pocket
before you order a refill."

The customer replies, "I'm peeking at a
photo of my wife. When she starts to look
good, I know it's time to go home."
