Insanity Rules

A man goes into a pub, takes a seat at the bar, and orders five shots.

 

The bartender gives him an odd look since hes all by himself, but he serves up the five shots and lines them up on the bar.

 

The man downs them all quickly. He finishes the last one and calls out, "Four shots, please!"

 

The bartender serves up four shots and lines them on the bar. The man downs them all. Then he belches loudly, sways slightly on the stool, and orders three.

 

And one after the other, he knocks them back. "Two shots!" he calls, and the bartender places two shots in front of him. Down they go.

 

As the man slams the last one down on the bar, he says, "One shot bartender."

 

So the bartender fills the glass. The man sits there, staring at it for a moment, trying to focus.

 

 

Then he looks at the barman and says, "You know, it's a funny thing, but the less I drink, the drunker I get."

Thank you Philip .  That reminds me of a story  from Sydney in 1987 .

Another of Rick's "true stories" .

Two miles n/west of Sydney lies th 'infamous' insane asylum called Callan Park .

They 'polished' it up a bit in th 80s & renamed it Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital .

A bloke , was a patient in the drug & alcohol brain damage  ward . Where it was compulsory to go to

5 AA meetings a week . On th way back from an outside meeting , old mate gets a bit thirsty . He goes

to a hotel on the road outside the hospital , the Orangegrove hotel . He orders 2 beers , he gets them ,

takes them over & sits at a table looking out at th hospital . He drinks one , then gets up & goes & gets

another beer then another . The bartender , curious about th 1st beer , still full on th table , asks old mate .

"Where's your mate" old mate replies , no I am drinking alone . Well how come you have left that still full .

Well I am a patient in th hospital across th road & I go to AA . They told me in AA , "It was the 1st drink

that did th damage . "I am Not going to touch that one".

I believe it to be 'true' , as , old mate started "the Orangegrove" AA meeting the next day to remind him .

of his relapse . It was th Tues nite Ward 5 AA meeting @ 7pm . I used to go to it very regularly .
