A man in a bar has a couple of beers, and the bartender tells him he owes $4.
“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 ruses 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.”
