An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "what'll you have?" The man says, "Give me three pints of Guinness please."

So the bartender brings him three pints and the man proceeds to alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He then orders three more.

The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you a fresh cold one."

The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness Stouts too, and we're drinking together."

The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition. Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.

The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died."

The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine - I just quit drinking."

"Try speaking American, it's the only language I understand."

In other words, I think you went over my head. Is this a riddle, or a joke???

That actually gave me a good chuckle. 'Good work man.

It's a joke; a riddle is a question or cryptic statement meant to be answered by another person (ex. "Why did the chicken cross the road?").

That made me chuckle too.
 
Irony at it's best. I think this is the best "guy walks into a bar" joke I've heard in a while.

This guy is drinking six beers, as if he were three people: two each for himself, his brother in Australia, and his brother in the U.S. One day, "he" quits drinking, but "his brothers" don't. But that still means the guy is drinking.

Yeah, it's silly. But it's ironic enough to make me laugh. The joke's punchline is its irony (dude is still drinking, but "he" isn't because "he" quit and "his brothers" didn't).
 
He quit drinking, but his brothers are still drinking, so he's still ordering the drinks for them. As far as he's concerned, he isn't drinking them, it's his brothers, even though it's really him. It's doublespeak. It also doesn't sound anywhere near as funny when you have to explain it.

No, that was the first time I did it. Sorry, I won't post it again.
 
Yay for the Irish. I like this sort of stuff because although it doesn't induce a belly laugh, I can't help but smile. Good work.
 
Heh, very nice. Pretty ironic how it turned out that way. Heh.
