An old cowboy, who just moved to Montana from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud.\n
He sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn.\n
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three more.\n
The bartender approaches and tells the old cowboy,\n
\u201cYou know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one at a time.\u201d\n The old man replies,\n \u201cWell, you see, I have two brothers. One is in Arizona, the other is in Colorado. When we all left our home in Texas, we promised that we\u2019d drink this way to remember the days when we drank together. So I\u2019m drinking one beer for each of my brothers and one for myself.\u201d\n The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there.\n The old man becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same way.\n He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.\n One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs.\n All the regulars take notice and fall silent.\n When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says,\n \u201cI don\u2019t want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss.\u201d\n The old man looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs.\n \u201cOh, no, everybody\u2019s just fine,\u201d he explains.\n \u201cIt\u2019s just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.\u201d\n \u201cIt hasn\u2019t affected my brothers though.\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Old Man, Who Just Moved To Montana An old cowboy, who just moved to Montana from Texas, walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud.
