(Just could not wait until Friday for releasing this as we have club members
in The Villages.)
Four old 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.'
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 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
be believe it ....
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 old retired
farts from Michigan waiting
for happy hour when drinks are half price.'
