A Greek and Italian were sitting in a Starbuck’s one day discussing who had the superior culture. Over triple lattes the Greek guy says, “Well, we have the Parthenon.”<\/p>\n
Arching his eyebrows, the Italian replies, “We have the Coliseum.”<\/p>\n
The Greek retorts, “We Greeks gave birth to advanced mathematics.”<\/p>\n
The Italian, nodding agreement, says, “But we built the Roman Empire.”<\/p>\n
And so on and so on until the Greek comes up with what he thinks will end the discussion.<\/p>\n
With a flourish of finality he says, “We invented sex!”<\/p>\n
The Italian replies, “That is true, but it was the Italians who introduced it to women!”<\/p>\n
Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, “I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhoea in the convent.”<\/p>\n
“Thank God,” said an elderly nun at the back. “I’m so tired of chardonnay.”<\/p>\n
An Irishman moves into a tiny hamlet 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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?”<\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
The bartender and the whole town was pleased with this answer, and soon the Man Who Orders Three Beers became a local celebrity and source of pride to the hamlet, even to the extent that out-\u00adof\u00ad-towners would come to watch him drink.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The next day, the bartender says to the man, “Folks around here, me first of all, want to offer condolences to you for the death of your brother. You know \u00ad\u00ad the two beers and all…”<\/p>\n
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.”<\/p>\n
