Cowboy in a Bar

A Cowboy goes into a bar and orders three separate shots of whiskey. He downs them one at a time and orders three more.

The bartenders says, "You know, I can put all three shots in one glass for you."

Cowboy says, "Naw, thanks, but I like doing it this way. See, I'm very close to my two brothers. They're both in the Army overseas now, and this way, it's like we're all three having a drink together. Makes me feel closer to them.

The bartender nods understanding and continues to set them up as requested.

This goes on for several months. Then one day the cowboy orders only two shots. The bartender begins to worry that maybe something has happened to one of the guy's brothers.

"Is everything all right?" he asks.

"What do you mean?" says the cowboy.

"Well, all these months you've ordered three drinks. Now you've only ordered two. Something didn't happen to one of your brothers, did it?"

"Naw, they're both doing fine. It's just, I quit drinking."
