~~~ A bloke in the pub ~~~

A bloke goes into a pub, takes a seat at the bar, and orders five pints.

The barman gives him an odd look since the bloke's all by himself, but
he serves up the five pints and lines them up on the bar.

The bloke downs them....One, Two, Three, Four, Five. He finishes the
last one and calls to the barman, "Four pints, please, mate!" The barman
serves up four pints and lines them on the bar. The bloke downs them....One,
Two, Three, Four. Then he belches loudly, sways slightly on the stool, and
orders three more pints. And one after the other, he knocks them
back....One, Two, Three.

"Two pintsh, mate!" he calls, and the barman places two pints in front
of him. Down they go....One, Two. As the bloke slams the last one down on
the bar, he says, "One pint, mate." So the barman fills the glass. The bloke
sits there, staring at it for for a moment, trying to focus.

Then he looks at the barman and says, "Y'know, it'sh a funny t'ing, but
the less I drink, the drunker I get..."
