Re: One for the boys
Paddy( can be a woman if you want) goes into a bar and orders 3 pints. takes a sup out of one, then another and then the other. drinks all 3 like that. barman comes over and tells Paddy that he can order 1 at a time and they will be fresher. yer man tells barman that he has 2 brothers,1 who has emigrated to New York and the other to Syney, and that they made a pact that every Friday that they would each go into a bar and have 3 pints,one for themselves and 1 for each of the others.
this goes on for months and months and the barman gets used to Paddy and his 3 pints
One Friday Paddy comes in and only orders 2 pints. the barman not saying anything pulls the 2 pints, and brings them down to Paddy. Who drinks the 2 pints more slowly than usual
Deciding that it would be nice to sympathise with him the barman asks if anything is wrong.
Terrible, dreadful news says Paddy. The worst. News no one ever wants to hear.
I'm so sorry says the barman and goes away. But curiosity roused he goes back and asks 'which one of your brothers passed away,the one in Sydney or the one in New York?
0h! Replies Paddy, nothing like that. I wasn't feeling well and went to the doctor, and hes put me off the drink for life.
