And along that line:
An old Irish guy walks into a bar. He raps on the bartop to get the bartender's attention, and says "Barkeep! Three pints of Guinness, please!"
The bartender pulls his pints, he pays for them and drinks them one after the other, and leaves.
The next days he's back at the same hour. "Barkeep! Three pints of Guinness, please!"
This goes on for several weeks, and the bartender gets curious. The next time the old guy is in, while he's pulling the pints, he asks the old guy "What's your name, laddy?"
"Me name's Sean."
"Good to meet, you Sean!", says the bartender. "I'm Paddy!"
"Sean, lad, I'm curious." says Paddy. " Every days for weeks you've been coming into me bar at the same hour every day and having three pints. There's a story there, I bet.", says Paddy. "What's going on, laddy?"
"Well, Paddy", says Sean, "I used to have two close friends. Every day we'd go to the local at this hour and hoist a pint together. They're gone now, the good lord rest their souls, so I honors their memory by having their pints for them!"
"Ah, it's a good thing you do, Sean!" replies Paddy.
A couple of weeks later, Sean walks in, raps on the bar, and says "Paddy! two pints of Guinness, please!"
Paddy turns in shock. "Sean, lad! Every day for weeks you've been coming into me bar at this hour and having three pints of Guinness. Today you only want two! What happened, laddy?"
"Oh, Paddy", replies Sean. "I quit drinking!"
