Famous Joke of the Day

The Baptist Cowboy
A cowboy, who is visiting Texas from Arkansas, walks into a bar
and orders three mugs of beer. He sits in the back of the room,
drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
When he finishes them, he comes back to the bar and orders three
more. The bartender approaches and tells the cowboy, “You know, a mug
goes flat after I draw it. It would taste better if you bought
one at a time.”
The cowboy replies, “Well, you see, I have two brothers. One is
in Arkansas, the other is in Delaware. When we all left our home
in Texas, we promised that we’d drink this way to remember the
days when we all drank together. So I’m drinking one beer for
each of my brothers and one for myself.”
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom and walks away.
The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and week after week,
comes in and orders the 3 three mugs of beer and drinks each in
turn. One day, however, he comes in and only orders two mugs!
All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When he comes back
to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, “I don’t want
to intrude on your grief, but wanted to offer my condolences on
your loss.”
The cowboy looks quite puzzled for a moment, then a light dawns
in his eyes and he laughs. “Oh, no, everybody’s just fine,” he explains, “It’s just that my wife and I joined the Baptist Church and I had to quit drinking.
… Hasn’t affected my brothers though.”
