The bartender asks the guy
sitting at the bar, „What’ll you
have?“ The guy answers, „A scotch,
please.“ The bartender hands him
the drink, and says „That’ll be
five dollars,“ to which the guy
replies, „What are you talking
about? I don’t owe you anything for this.“
A lawyer, sitting nearby
and overhearing the conversation, then says to
the bartender, „You
know, he’s got you there. In the original offer,
which constitutes
a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no
stipulation of
remuneration.“
The bartender was not impressed, but says to the
guy, „Okay, you beat
me for a drink. But don’t ever let me catch you
in here again.“
The next day, same guy walks into the bar.
Bartender says, „What the
heck are you doing in here? I can’t believe
you’ve got the audacity to
come back!“
The guy says, „What
are you talking about? I’ve never been in this
place in my l
ife!“ The bartender replies, „I’m very sorry, but this is
uncanny. You must have a double.“
To which the guy replies, „Thank you.
Make it a scotch.“
