It's a Cracker !

[peggy]

An Irishman moves into a tiny village 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 village, 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, are sorry 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 my two brothers are alive and well. It's just that I, meself, have decided to give up drinking for Lent
