own, or even look at, this issue in most countries, including
the United States.

18th's Joke that didn't fit yesterday: |
|
An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, orders three pints
of Guinness Beer 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; it
would taste better if you bought one at a time."
The Irishman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers.
One is in America, the other in Australia, and I'm here in
Dublin. When we all left home, we promised that 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 Irishman becomes a regular in the bar, 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 other
regulars notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the
bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't
want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences
on your great loss."
The Irishman looks confused for a moment, then a light dawns
in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no," he, says, "everyone's
fine. I've just quit drinking."
