> A drover, who just moved to Queensland from Victoria ,
> 
> Walks into a bar and orders three glasses of XXXX.
> 
> He sits in the back of the room,
> 
> Drinking a sip out of each one in turn.
> 
> When he finishes them,
> 
> He comes back to the bar and orders three more. 
> The bartender approaches and tells the drover,
> 
> "You know, a glass goes flat after I draw it.
> 
> It would taste better if you bought one at a time." 
> The cattleman replies, "Well, you see, I have two brothers.
> 
> One's in 'Tassie' , the other one's a 'sandgroper'.
> 
> When we all left our home in Echuca' ,
> 
> 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 brothers
> 
> And one for myself." 
> The bartender admits that this is a nice custom,
> 
> And leaves it there. 
> The drover becomes a regular in the bar,
> 
> And always drinks the same way.
> 
> He orders three mugs and drinks them in turn. 
> One day, he comes in and only orders two mugs.
> 
> All the regulars take notice and fall silent.
> 
> When he 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 drover looks quite puzzled for a moment,
> 
> Then a light dawns in his eyes and he laughs. 
> "Oh, no, everybody's just fine," he explains,
> 
> "It's just that my wife and I joined the Salvation Army
> 
> And I had to quit drinking." 
> "Hasn't affected my brothers though."
