Joke of the Month
| A FORGETFUL
BARTENDER |
A man walks into a bar and has a couple
of beers. Once he is done the bartender tells him he
owes $9.00.
"But
I paid, don't you remember?" says the customer.
"Okay,"
says the bartender, "If you say 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 in the face."
"Don't
bother me with your troubles," the final patron responds.
"Just give me my change and I'll be on my way." |
