3 Pints of Guinness

*"The O'Malleys" *
      
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 '92."
 
"This is unbelievable!" the first man says. "I went to Saint
Mary's and I graduated in '92, 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."

"3 Pints of Guinness"*

*This Irish guy shows up in a pub one day and orders three pints
of Guinness. He takes sips from each glass until they are empty
and calls the bartender for three more. The bartender says, "Hey, pal,
I don't mind bringing one at a time, then they'll be fresh and cold."

"Nah... ahm preferrin' that ya bring 'em three at a time. You see, me
and me two brothers would meet at a pub and drink and have good
times. Now one is in Australia, the other in Canada and I'm here.
We agreed before we split up that we'd drink this way to each other's
honor."

"Well," says the bartender, "that's a damn good sentimental thing
to do. I'll bring the pints as you ask."

Well, time goes on and the Irishman's peculiar habit is known and
accepted by all the pub regulars. One day, the Irishman comes in
and orders only two pints. A hush falls over the pub. Naturally,
everyone figures something happened to one of the brothers. A
bunch of the regulars corner the bartender and finally persuade him
to find out what happened.

With a heavy heart, the bartender brings the two pints and says,
"Here's your pints... and let me offer my sincerest condolences.
What happened?"

The Irishman looks extremely puzzled for a moment. When the light
comes on in his head, he starts laughing. "No, no! 'Tis nothing like
that. You see, I've given up drinking for Lent."
