    Share Share Post
    There were three men who had a bottle of whiskey one night and they said they would not drink it until morning. One man was to drink his share in the top of the bottle, the second man's share was in the middle and the third man's share was in the bottom.
    The third man got dry in the night, he had no vessel to put the other men's share into. So he drank the top and the middle to get down to the bottom. When the two men woke they asked him why did he do that, eh said he had to drink the top and the middle to get down to the bottom.
