"We're brothers..."

My brother e-mailed me this wonderful story this morning:
"A guy goes over to his younger brother's house a few weeks [less than two weeks actually] after giving him a case of beer for X-Mas [in addition to other gifts]. The case was given to him some time back, and the older brother questions how his brother could go through it [and three other twelve packs] even when he has guys and occasional girls coming over to visit each day as they party into the new year. During the show Monk, the older brother runs out of beer he sees that his younger brother is going to the fridge for a beer for himself so he sees no problem in asking for a beer, but there are only two beers left. The older brother lives just next door where he has several cold beers so it would be no problem getting one himself but he would rather drink his brothers last last cold beer [still another case sitting there]. His brother feels like he shouldnt have to explain why those beers are almost gone. He asks his older brother that if he gives away his last beer will he bring him a replacment that night so he has enough to be happy for the night. The older brother remains seated and either agrees knowing that he is lying or just ignores his younger brother. [Yeah, I ignored him.] Once the beers are drank the older brother goes back next door and the younger brother assumes he will get back what he gave out, only to realize that he had to go next door himself. He leaves his company and goes next door...the younger brother tries to knock some sense into his brother by making a remark that he had to go out of his way for this stupid beer... the older brother questions whether he is serious, acting like this is no big deal, which it really shouldnt be. The younger brother just deals with it because he is trying to be a good brother and a nice guy, maybe next time he will not share with his brother who probably would not have shared his last beer the same way. Later his older brother sends him an email about his BlogSpot, not yet realizing that his brother is tired of that stuff and thinks it is a bit gay and waste of time. The younger brother still loves his older brother, but he is tired of this type of crap that can just build up over time and explode!" [Boom!]
