A Joke From Aunt Amy....It Made Me Giggle

BAPTIST COWGIRL ...


A cowgirl, who is visiting Texas from Arkansas, walks
into a bar and orders three mugs of Bud. She sits in
the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one
in turn. When she finishes them, she comes back to
the bar and orders three more.

The bartender approaches and tells the cowgirl,
"You know, a mug goes flat after I draw it. It would
taste better if you bought one at a time."

The cowgirl replies, "Well, you see, I have two
sisters. One is in Australia, the other is in
Dublin." When we all left our home in Arkansas, 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 sisters and one for myself."

The bartender admits that this is a nice custom,
and leaves it there.  The cowgirl becomes a regular
in the bar, and always drinks the same way. She
orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. 

One day, she comes in and only orders two mugs.
All the regulars take notice and fall silent. When
she 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 cowgirl looks quite puzzled for a moment, then
a light dawns in her eyes and she laughs. "Oh, no,
everybody's just fine," she explains, "it's just
that my husband and I joined the Baptist Church and
I had to quit drinking" "Hasn't affected my sisters
though."
