All Drinks 10P

[Rallyist]

Four old retired

guys are walking down a street in London .


They turn a corner and see a

sign that says, Old Timers Bar - ALL DRINKS 10p.


They look at each other

and 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 and let me pour one

for you! What'll it be, gentlemen?"




There's a fully stocked bar,

so each of the men orders a pint of bitter. In no time the bartender serves up

four frothing pints of bitter, and says, "That'll be 10p each,

please."


The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each

other. They can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40p, finish their pints,

and order another round.


Again, four excellent pints are produced, with

the bartender again saying, "That's 40p, please."

They pay the 40p, but their

curiosity gets the better of them.

They've each had two pints and haven't

even spent a £1 yet.


Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to

serve a pint of bitter as good as this for a 10p a piece?"




"I'm a

retired tailor," the bartender says, "and I always wanted to own a bar. Last

year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for £25 million and decided to open this place.

Every drink costs 10p. Wine, liquor, beer. It's all the same."


"Wow!

That's some story!" one of the men says.


As the four of them sip at their

pints of beer, they can't help noticing seven other people at the end of the bar

who don't have any drinks in front of them and haven't ordered anything the

whole time they've been there.




Nodding at the seven at the end of

the bar, one of the men asks the bartender, "What's with them?"


The

bartender says,


"They're retired people from Yorkshire. They're waiting

for Happy Hour when drinks are half-price"
