Cowboy Logic

A cowboy, who just moved to Wyoming from Texas , 

walks into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud . 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 an Marine, the other is a Navy Seal, 

both serving over seas some where. When we all left our 

home in Texas , 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 brothers and one for myself."
The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it 

there.
 

The cowboy becomes a regular in the bar, and always drinks 

the same way. He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn.
One day, 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 I 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, every body'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...."
