One day a drunk walked into
a bar and
ordered a gin and tonic. He drank half of it and poured
the rest on the
bartender.
The bartender got angry, grabbed the
drunk by the collar, pulled him
close to his face, and asked,
„Why did you do that?“
The drunk said very apologetically, „I am so
very sorry sir. Please
forgive me. I can’t help it. It’s an
illness I can’t get rid of. I am
so ashamed of it. How can I make it up
to you?“
The bartender answered,
„Haven’t you seen anyone
about this problem?“
The drunk replied, „I never thought of that. Maybe
I will.“
The bartender said, „Don’t come back until you do get
help,“ and the
drunk left.
About three months later the drunk came
back to the same bar, ordered
another gin and tonic, drank half of
it, and poured the rest of it on
the bartender.
The bartender
shouted, „I thought I told you not to come back until
you got
help!“
The drunk replied, „I did. Now I don’t feel ashamed.“
