Paddy walks into his local and orders three Guinness.
The tap man pours them for him. He then takes equal sips from each and proceeds to do so until all glasses are empty. He pays and leaves. He does this every day for a week before the bartender decides to ask what that’s all about.
“Why do you come in and order three Guinness, and then take equal sips from them until they are empty?” Asks the barkeep. The guy replies “well, I’ve got two brothers. We used to meet up every evening for a beer, but one of them is in Australia now, and the other one is in America, So we’ve decided that each of us will drink three Guinness every day, one for each of us, as if we were still together.”
The bartender’s curiosity is sated. The guy continues to do this for about a month, until he comes in one day and orders only two stouts.
“I’m sorry for your loss”, says the bartender.
The Paddy is confused, and then says “oh no, nobody died. I’m just on the wagon, meself.”
