the season of abstention, so we hope you enjoy this favourite classic:
An
Irishman walks into a pub in Galway and orders three 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 three
more. The bartender asks him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw
it; wouldn't you rather I draw fresh pints for you one at a time?" The
fellow replies: "Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is now in
America and the other, in Australia. When we all left home, we promised
we'd drink this way to remember the days when we drank together." The
bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. The
fellow becomes a regular in the pub , and always drinks the same way: He
orders three pints and drinks them in turn.

 One
day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the regulars notice and fall
silent, speculating about what might have happened to one of the absent
brothers. When the fellow goes back to the bar for a second round, the
bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to
offer my condolences on your loss." The fellow looks confused for a
moment and then a light dawns in his eye and says: "Oh, no, everyone's
fine. You see, it's just that I've given up the drink for Lent."
