Paddy walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints of Guinness & sits in the corner of the room. Drinking a sip out of each pint in turn, he finishes all three. He then went back to the bar & ordered three more. The barman says, "You know a pint goes flat soon after I pull it ......... Your pint would taste better if you bought one at a time."

 

Patrick replies, "Well now, I have two brodders, one is in America ; & de odder in Australia ; & here I am in Dublin. When we all left home, we promised dat we'd drink dis way to remember de days we all drank togedder."

 

The barman admits that this is a nice custom & says no more.

 

Patrick becomes a regular customer, & always drinks the same way ....... Ordering three pints & drinking a sip out of each in turn, until they are finished.

 

One day, he comes in & orders just two pints.

 

All the other regulars in the bar notice! & fall silent.

 

When he goes back to the bar for the second round,

 

The barman says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief (assuming one brother had died) but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."

 

Patrick looks confused for a moment, then the penny drops & he starts to laugh,

 

"Oh no," he says, "Bejesus, everyone is fine! Tis me, .................. I've Quit Drinking!"
