An Irishman in a Dublin pub has the habit of ordering three separate pints of Guinness. He would set them down on the table and carefully take a sip from each glass one-by-one.

This goes on for many weeks when someone in the pub gets curious and decides to ask the man why he does this. He answers, "You see, I have two brothers and they've both moved far away. We all decided that every time any us orders Guinness that we would get three pints in order to remember our two other brothers.

This goes on for months.

One day the lad in Dublin orders two pints instead of three and begins sipping from the two glasses. Someone in the bar notices this and walks over to offer his condolences.

"I am so sorry for your loss", the patron says.

"Haha! No, both of my brothers are just fine, but I've stopped drinking."

A simple majority. In the event of a tie, the Vice President holds the stepladder.

Since it's highly exothermic, it's OMg in more ways than one. :oldwink:
