An Irishman goes into a bar and orders three beers, the bar tender asks him why three beers, he replies that one is for him the others are in memory of his brothers who moved to America.
The man does this everyday for weeks on end. Then one day he orders just two. Thinking that one of the man's brothers must have passed away the bar tender goes up to him to offer his condolences. The man says "for what" to which the bar tender replies "seeing as you only ordered two beers I thought you lost one of your brothers. To which the man says,
"No everyone is fine, I just gave up drinking for lent."
:o)
