Pint size

>>>
>>>
>>>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 finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders
>>>three
>>>more. The bartender says to 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
>>>we all 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 the three pints by
>>>taking drinks from each of them in turn.
>>>
>>>One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other
>>>regulars in the bar 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 is fine. It's
>>>me......I've quit drinking!"
