An Irishman, Sean O’Grady, walks into a local pub every evening and orders 3 pints of ale, drinks them down and leaves. After about 2 weeks, the publican is curious and asks him why he always orders 3 pints. Sean explains, “I have 2 brothers who live in different cities. We were always close while growing up, so when we all left home and went our separate ways, we made a pact that each of us would go to a pub every evening after work and drink 3 pints, one for each of us, as a way to feel closer to each other.”
Well, after a couple of months, Sean comes into the pub one evening and only orders 2 pints. The publican thinks the worst and offers his condolences. Sean asks him what’s he talking about? The publican says, “I just assumed that since you only ordered 2 pints that one of your brothers must have passed away.”
Sean laughs and says,”Oh, no, nothing of the sort. It’s just that I quit drinking.”
