DROWNED

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim 
Finnegan arrives at her door. "Brenda, may I come in?" he 
asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya."

"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But 
where's  my husband?"

"That's what I'm here to be tellin' ya, Brenda.  There was 
an accident down at the Guiness brewery..."

"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda.  "Please don't tell me..."
"I must, Brenda.  Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm 
sorry."

Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen,  Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda.  He fell into a vat of Guiness 
Stout and drowned."

Oh my dear Jesus!  But you must tell me true, Tim.  Did he 
at least go  quickly?"

"Well, no Brenda... no."
"No?"
"Fact is, he got out three times to pee."
