Got the Drop.

A certain stingy son of Erin, upon seeing another Irishman just going to drink a glass of whisky, exclaimed: “Hould on Pat; let an ould friend have a drop, the last taste in the wurrld.” His friend passed the glass, and the stingy one emptied if. Pat was naturally annoyed, and said: “Bedad, I thought you said you only wanted a drop?” We may guess his feelings when he received the reply f “Thd drop I wanted was at the bottom.”
