A little humor for those
of us who have or are working in Florida...
Four retired guys, two from
California and two from Arizona; are walking down a street
in Chicago. Then they turn a corner and see a sign that says
"Old Timer's Bar" "ALL DRINKS 10 CENTS!"
They look at each other, and then go in.
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 and
says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
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 40cents, 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 couldn't stand it any longer and asks
the bartender, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good
as these for a dime a piece?"
"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, "They're seniors from Florida.
They're waiting for happy hour."
