Rob Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Four retired guys are walking down a street in The Villages, Florida. They turned a corner and see a sign that says, 'Old Timers Bar - all drinks 10 cents. Theylook at each other and 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 a piece?' '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 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 man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, 'What's with them?' The bartender says, 'Oh, they're all retired conservatives from Wisconsin, waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price.'

hatcity Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 By then, it was 4 o'clock and the men had to leave so they wouldn't miss the "early bird specials" Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 ...reminds me of the one where the man goes into the bar and orders 12 martinis. Can't tell it for fear of getting banned though. I'll just tell the punch line- he said "no, that's ok- if twelve of them won't kill the taste, i'm sure 13 won't". good one, eh? Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
