A Guinness for Me Brothers....

An Irishman named Jeff walks into a bar in Dublin, orders four 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 four more.

The bartender approaches and tells 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 three brothers. Me eldest brother Scotty is in L.A., me older brother Cal is in Kansas City, me middle brother Brad is in Austin 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 in Ireland. So I drinks one for each o' me brothers and one for me self."

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 four pints and drinks them in turn.

One day, he comes in and orders only three pints. All the other regulars take 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 quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs.

"Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains, "It's just that me wife, Cissy, had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected me brothers a bit though."

CHEERS BROTHERS!

 

Real Beers

There's a big conference of beer producers in the most beautiful town in the world: Amsterdam, the Netherlands. At the end of the day, all of the presidents of all beer companies decide to have a drink in a bar. The president of 'Budweiser' orders a Bud, the president of 'Miller' orders a Miller Lite, Adolph Coors orders a Coors, and the list goes on. Then the waitress asks Arthur Guinness what he wants to drink, and much to everybody's amazement, Mr. Guinness orders a Coke! "Why don't you order a Guinness?" his colleagues ask. "Naah. If you guys won't drink beer, then neither will I."
