Orders three pints ofGuinness & sits in thecorner of the room,
Drinking a sip out ofeach pint in turn.
When he had finished all three, He 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."
Patrickreplies, "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 dranktogedder."
The barman admits thatthis is a nice custom & says no more.
Patrick becomes aregular customer, & alwaysdrinks the same way ....... Ordering three pints & drinking a sip outof each in turn, until they are finished.
One day, he comesin & orders just two pints.
All the other regularsin the bar notice! & fall silent.
When he goes back tothe bar for the second round,
The barman says,"I don't want to intrude on your grief but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."
Patrick looks confusedfor a moment, then the penny drops & he starts to laugh,
