A man stumbles up to the only other patron in a bar and asks if he can buy him a drink. "Why, of course!" comes the reply The first man then asks: "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Ireland," replies the second man.

The first man responds: "You don't say! I'm from Ireland, too. Let's have another round to Ireland."

"Of course!" replies the second man.

Curious, the first man then asks, "Where in Ireland are you from?"

"Dublin," comes the reply.

"I can't believe it," says the first man. "I'm from Dublin, too! Lets have another drink to Dublin."

"Of course," replies the second man.

Curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: "What school did you go to?"

"Saint Mary's," replies the second man. "I graduated in `62."

"This is unbelievable!" the first man cries. "I went to Saint Mary's and I graduated in `62 also!"

About that time, in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar. "What's been going on?" he asks the bartender.

"Nothing much," replies the bartender. "The O'Malley twins are drunk again."
