A Canadian, an Irishman, and an Englishman were sitting in a bar. There was only one other person in the bar. A man. The three men kept looking at the other fellow, for he seemed terribly familiar. They stared and stared, wondering where they had seen him before, when suddenly the Canadian cried out, “My God! I know who that man is - it’s Jesus Christ!” The others examined him again, and sure enough, it was Jesus himself, sitting alone at a table. The Irishman called out across the lounge, “Hey! Hey you! Are you Jesus?”
The man looked over at him, smiled a small smile and nodded his head. “Yes, I am Jesus” he said.
Well, the Irishman called the barman over and said to him, “I’d like you to give Jesus over there a pint of Guiness from me.” The bartender poured Jesus a Guiness. Jesus looked over, raised his glass in acknowledgment, and drank.
The Englishman then called out, “Er, excuse me sir, but would you indeed be Jesus?” Jesus smiles and says, “Yes, I am Jesus.” The Englishman beckons to the bartender and tells him to send over a Beefeater and Schweppes to Jesus, with his compliments, which the bartender duly does. As before, Jesus accepts the drink and raises his glass in a toast to the table.
Then the Canadian calls out, “Hey, buddy! So you reckon you’re Jesus, eh?” Jesus nods and says, “Yes, I am Jesus.” The Canadian is thoroughly impressed and has the bartender send over a jug of Labbatts Blue for Jesus, which he accepts with pleasure.
Finally, after finishing the drinks, Jesus leaves his seat and approaches the three friends. He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the Guiness. As he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of amazement, “Oh God! The arthritis is gone! The pain I’ve suffered from for years is gone! It’s a miracle!”
Jesus then shakes the Englishman’s hand, thanking him for the gin and tonic. Upon loosening his grip, the Englishman’s eyes widen in shock. “By Jove, the migraine! The migraine I’ve had for forty years is completely gone! It’s a miracle!”
Jesus then goes to approach the Canadian who says, “Back off, buddy. I’m on Worker’s Compensation.”
