Thanks to Pat & Sue for sharing this joke with us.
Four retired guys are
walking down a street in Tampa. Then they turn a corner and see a sign that
says "Old Timer's Bar" . . " ALL DRINKS 10 CENTS ! ". They look at each other,
then go in. On the inside, they realize in this case, they should not judge the
'book by its cover.' The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the
room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?"
There seems to be a fully-stocked bar, so the men all ask for a martini. In
short order, the bartender serves up 4 iced martinis - shaken not stirred and
says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please." The four men stare at the bartender
for a moment then look at each other. They can't believe their good luck. They
pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round. Again, four
excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 more
! cents, please."
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They've
each had two martinis, and so far they've spent less than a dollar. Finally one
of the men says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a
dime apiece?"
Here's my story. I'm a retired tailor from Brooklyn, and I always wanted to own
a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $25 million and decided to open this
place. Every drink costs a dime, wine, liquor, beer, all the same."
"Wow. That's quite a story." says one of the men. The four of them sipped at
their martinis and couldn't help but notice three other guys at the end of the
bar who didn't have a drink in front of them, and hadn't ordered anything the
whole time they were there. One man gestures at the three at the end of the bar
without drinks and asks the bartender, "What's with them?"
The bartender says, "Oh, they are from Sun City C! enter. They're waiting for
happy hour."
