WE ARE NOT A GLUM LOT

A drunk goes into a bar and asks for a shot of Jim Beam.

The bartender pours it and the drunk pushes it aside and asks for another shot of Jim Beam.

The bartender pours it and the drunk drinks it.

The bartender says, “I watched what you did and I don’t understand why you pushed the first one away and drank the second one!”

The drunk stated, “I’ve been going to those AA Meetings, and they said WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T TAKE THAT FIRST DRINK!!!”

My brother went to his AA meeting drunk, then he tripped down the stairs.

He’s been having lots of trouble with the steps lately.

Why did the anvil go to AA Meetings? Because he was always getting hammered!

I only need two meetings a week, so I go to seven just to make sure I get the right one.

What's the difference between a pit bull and an alcoholic? The pit bull knows it has to let go eventually!

Steps Five, Six and Seven

Step Five: Admitted to God, ourselves, and another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Step Six: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Step Seven: Humbly asked him to remove our shortcomings.
