- One time two men said they would like a bottle of whiskey to relieve their thirst. So they agreed to buy a bottle and divide it. Now, one of the men was very fond of whiskey, and he happened to be the man who went for the whiskey. As he was coming back with the whiskey, he met a priest. The priest told him to empty it, but, the man replied "Oh, I couldn't do that because half of it is for my friend." "Well," said the priest "throw out your half." The man thought for a while. Then, he said "Oh! I couldn't do that either because my friend's half is on top."
