THE TEN CENT MARTINI
Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Yuma, Arizona ...
They turn a corner & 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 & let me pour one for you ! What'll it be, Gentlemen ?"
There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men ordered
a martini. In short order, the bartender serves up four iced martinis...
shaken, not stirred, & says, "That'll be 10 cents each, please." The
four men stare at the bartender for a moment. Then they look at each
other. They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish
their martinis & 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 & so far they have 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 Phoenix," the bartender said, & I always
wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery jackpot for 125
million & decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime ... wine,
liquor, beer. "Wow !!! That's quite a story," says one of the men.
The four of them sipped at their martinis & couldn't help but notice
seven other people at the end of the bar who didn't have drinks in
front of them & hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were
there. One man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar & asks
the bartender, "What's with them ?"
The bartender says, "Oh, they're all old retirees from Florida. They're
waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half price."
