Why They Wanted a Drink.

Five men on an Atlantic liner were thirsty. They ambled up to the bar. One wanted a drink because he was sick; another wanted a drink because he was sleepy; another M-anted one because he couldn’t eleep; another could not eat unless he had an appetizer. Finally, an old soak demanded a drink because he liked It.
