My Best Friend

       There were these two guys, John and Andrew who were the best of friends. They treat each other as real brother. They have the same interest, go to the same school and drink in the same bar together. They used to go to this same bar every evening for a glass or two.

       One day, John just got the news that Andrew had died while asleep. It came as a big blow to John that he promised that he will keep on doing what they used to do together when Andrew was alive. So he continued to go to the same bar everyday and all the time ordered two glasses of beer.The bartender, curious of this, asked the guy why he had to order two glasses everytime. The teary-eyed John replied (while emptying the first glass in one sip) "This is for me". Then turned to the other glass and said "This one's for my best friend Andrew". And it went that way for a long time.

       Then one day, to the amazement of the bartender, John ordered only one glass of beer instead of the usual two. The bartender couldn't control his curiousity and asked John "Why only one this time?" John answered, holding the mug and drinking all of it, "This one is for my friend Andrew...I stopped drinking".
