Four guys were walking down a street in Naples, Florida, when they turned a corner and saw a sign that said:
Old Timers Bar - All Drinks 10 Cents
They looked at each other, and then went in, thinking this was just too good to be true.
The old bartender said in a voice that carried 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 asked for a martini. In short order, the bartender served up four chilled martinis...and said, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
The four men stared at the bartender for a moment. They couldn't believe their good luck, paid the 40 cents, finished their martinis, and ordered another round. Again, four chilled martinis were produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 40 cents, please."
They paid the 40 cents...but their curiosity was more than they could stand.
They have each had two beers and so far they'd spent less than a dollar.
Finally one of the men said, "How can you afford to serve drinks for a dime a piece and stay in business?"
"Well...I'm a retired cop from Boston," the bartender began, "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."
"That's quite a story," said one of the men. "Bring us another round."
The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice seven other people 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 of the men gestured at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asked the bartender, "What's with them?"
The bartender said, "Oh, they're all old retired Special Forces Sergeants Major...and they're just waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price."
;) :D :D :D
