Jokes and such for St. Patrick's Day
Bring them on we Irish can take it.
One Irish village had a new resident move in. He stopped into the local pub and ordered three beers, and subsequently had the same order every time he visited. Finally, the bartender asked him why he kept making that particular order. The man explained that he has two brothers, one of whom moved to America and the other to Australia, and that they agreed that every time they ordered a beer, they would make it three, as a way of keeping up the family bond.
That answer was delightfully received, and he became known throughout town as "the man who orders three beers".
After a few months, he stops into the same pub and orders... two beers. A hush immediately came over the place. The bartender, collecting himself, brought himself to sadly pour the beers, served them to the man, and offered his condolences.
"Condolences?" the man queried.
"Well, when you only ordered two beers, I kind of feared..."
The man takes a sip and replies, "You'll be happy to know that me brothers are alive and well. It's just that I meself have decided to give up drinking for Lent."
