2 pints or not 2 pints? |
|
In Cork for a weekend, meself and me mate were in a pub off Patrick St, having a chat to the effect that if you asked for "2 pints" in Cork, you'd get Murphy's rather then Guinness. So we decided to ask the barman what he'd give us if we asked for just 2 pints. He said "I'd give you Guinness". We said we thought we'd have got Murphy's. He said "but shure I know ye're from Dublin". More fool us.
