The Bartender

THE BARTENDER

A man walks into a a bar, drinks a couple of beers, and prepares to leave. The bartender tells him he owes $8.

"But I already paid you. Don't you remember?" says the customer.

"OK," says the bartender, "if you say you paid, then I suppose you did."

The man goes outside and tells the first person he sees that the bartender can't control whether his customers have paid or not. The second man rushes in, orders a couple beers, and later does the same trick.

The barkeep replies, "OK, if you say you paid, then I suppose you did."

The customer goes outside and tells a friend how to get free drinks. The third man hurries into the bar and begins to drink.

 The bartender leans over and says, "You know, a funny thing happened tonight. Two men were drinking beer, They didn’t pay, and both claimed they had. The next guy who tries that trick is going to get punched in the -- "

 The man interrupts, "Don't bother me with your troubles, bartender. Just give me my change and I'll be on my way."
