A cowgirl, who is visiting Texas from Oklahoma, walks into a bar and
orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in the back of the room,
drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When she finishes them, she comes back to the bar and orders three
more.
The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl, "You know, a mug
goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought one
at a time."
The cowgirl replies, "Well, you see, I have two sisters. One is in
Australia, the other is in Dublin. When we all left our home in
Arkansas, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days
when we drank together. So I'm drinking one beer for each of my
sisters and one for myself."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it
there.
The cowgirl becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks the same
way.
She orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, she comes in and only orders two mugs. All the regulars
take notice and fall silent. When she comes back to the bar for the
second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your
grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your loss."
The cowgirl looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns in
her eyes and she laughs.
"Oh, no, everybody's just fine," she explains, "It's just that my
husband and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking."
"Hasn't affected my sisters though."
