"It's A Sentimental Thing" joke

A man who looked like a high-powered business executive began to drop in at Milton's Bar regularly, and his order was always the same: two Martinis. After several weeks of this, Milton asked him why he didn't order a double instead of always ordering two singles.
"It's a sentimental thing," the customer answered. "A very dear friend of mine died a few weeks ago, and before his death he asked that when I drink, I have one for him, too."
A week later, the customer came in and ordered only one Martini.
"How about your dead buddy?" Milton asked. "Why only one Martini today?"
"This is my buddy's drink," the man said as he gulped the Martini down. "I'm on the wagon."
