Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 An Irishman becomes a Baptist An Irishman walks into a bar in Dublin, 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 approaches and tells him, " You know, a pint goes flat after I draw 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. So I drinks one for each o' me brothers and one for me self. " 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 take 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 quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eye and he laughs. " Oh, no, everybody's just fine, " He explains, " It's just that me wife had us join that Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking. Hasn't affected me brothers a bit though.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2001 Report Share Posted July 1, 2001 Hi Sue, How has your weekend been? Hope you've had a nice one. I've been really lazy, spent most of the day just puttering around and accomplishing nothing. My house is a wreck. Alan spent the day on the river, so it was peaceful here, for a change. Just , me and the cats. Nice, except this one cat of ours is such a pest. He meows constantly every time I open the frig. Thinks he should have people food instead of his dry crunchies. Had to turn on the A/C a while ago, it's getting really hot here. Supposed to be in the 100's by the 4th. Take care. Love, Marilyn Thank You for the joke...needed that today, very funny!...Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2001 Report Share Posted July 2, 2001 Dear Marilyn, nothing earth shattering here either. We went grocery shopping on Saturday and yesterday just went for a ride and grilled out. On Wednesday we will go to our daughters for a barbeque. Feel good today so am hoping to get some things done around here. Talk to you later....Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
