The man who orders three beers

The Man!!!
[ *  *  *  *  *  *  * ]
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet in County Kerry , walks into the Pub
and promptly orders three beers. The bartender raises his eyebrows, but
serves the man three beers, which he drinks quietly at a table, alone.

An hour later, the man has finished the three beers and orders three more.
This happens yet again. The next evening the man again orders and drinks
three beers at a time, several times. Soon the entire town is whispering
about the Man Who Orders Three Beers.

Finally, a week later, the bartender broaches the subject on behalf of the
town. "I don't mean to pry, but folks around here are wondering why
you always order three beers?"

"Tis odd, isn't it?" the man replies. "You see, I have two
brothers, and one went to America , and the other to Australia . We promised each other that
we would always order an extra two beers whenever we drank as a way of
keeping up the family bond."

The bartender and the whole town were pleased with this answer, and soon the
Man Who Orders Three Beers became a local celebrity and source of pride to
the hamlet, even to the extent that out-of-towners would come to watch him
drink.

Then, one day, the man comes in and orders only two beers. The bartender
pours them with a heavy heart. This continues for the rest of the evening.
He orders only two beers. The word flies around town.
Prayers are offered for the soul of one of the brothers.
The next day, the bartender says to the man, "Folks around here, me first
of all, want to offer condolences to you for the death of your brother. You
know-the two beers and all"

The man ponders this for a moment, then replies, "You'll be happy to
hear that me two brothers are alive and well. It's just that I, meself, have
decided to give up drinking for Lent."
