> 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."
