… and runs right into two priests. He says, “I’m Jesus Christ.” The first priest says, “No, son, you’re not.” So the drunk says it to the second priest. The second priest says, “No, son, you’re not.” The drunk says, “Look, I can prove it.” He walks back into the bar with the two priests.

Last Orders…
That’s it again for this fortnight’s edition. Check back in two weeks time for three more Brandy Cocktails.
If you have any questions, queries, comments or general feedback, just drop me an email. Also, if you’ve tried a cocktail or drink that you liked (say, for example, when you were out on the piss one night) but can’t remember exactly what’s in it, give me a shout and I’ll try to find out what it’s called and what the correct ingredients are.
Until next time…
Cheers!
