Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Ft
Myers, Florida.
They turned a corner and see a sign that
says, " Old Timers Bar - all drinks
10 cents."
They look at each other, then go in,
thinking this is too good to
be
true.
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 seemed to be a fully-stocked bar,
so each of the men ask for a
martini. In short order, the bartender serves up four 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 cents, please"
They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can
stand.
They have 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?"
"I'm a retired tailor from Boston," the
bartender said, "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, it's 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
drinks 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're retired teachers. They're waiting for
happy hour when
drinks are half price."
