I don't know, the first two don't look like beer drinkers to me. Probably only take one beer to get to a false premise, and 4 beers later, no means yes.

Descartes went into a bar.
The barman asked "Do you want a drink?"
Descartes replied "I don't think so" – and disappeared.

Three ACT candidates walked into a meeting: "Are we all agreed on policy?"... "Umm"... "Eh?"... "Yes!"

Well, two of them accidentally arrived at the same time and the other one was actually looking for the toilet....

Two ACT candidates walked into a bar, and so did a third who will be named later...

...but more ACT candidates are walking out of the bar than were in the first place.

I need a beer.
