A guy walks into a bar, orders three pints of larger and sits in the back room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he orders three more. The bartender approaches and tells the man, "you know, a pint goes flat after it is poured. It would taste better if you brought one at a time."
The man replies, "well I have two brothers. One is in Australia and the other is in Dublin, and I'm in England. When we all left home, we promised we would drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I drink one each for my brothers and one for myself." The bartender admits this is nice custom.
The guy becomes a regular, and always drinks the same way. He orders three pints and drinks them in turn.
One day, he comes in and orders only two pints. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to pry, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The man looks quite puzzled for a moment, then laughs, "oh no, everybody is fine," he explains, "it's just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church so I had to quit drinking. Hasn't effected my brothers though."
