A man walks into a bar and
has a couple of beers. Once
he is donem the bartender tells him he
owes $9.00.
„But I paid, don’t you remember?“ says the customer.
„Okay,“ says the bartender, „If you said you paid, you did.“
The man then goes outside and tells the first person he sees that
the
bartender can’t keep track of whether his customers have paid.
The second man then rushes in, orders a beer and later pulls
the same
stunt.
The barkeep replies, „If you say you paid,
I’ll take your word for
it.“
Soon the customer goes into the
street, sees an old friend, and tells
him how to get free drinks.
The man hurries into the bar and begins to drink high-balls
when,
suddenly, the bartender leans over sand says, „You know, a funny
thing
happened in here tonight. Two men were drinking beer, neither
paid and both
claimed that they did. The next guy who tries
that is going to get
punched right in the nose.“
„Don’t
bother me with your troubles,“ the final patron responds.
„Just
give me my change and I’ll be on my way.“
