Old Timers Bar

Four old retired
guys are walking down a street in
Yuma, Arizona ...
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
ordered 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 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 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 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, and I always
wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery for
$125 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 sorts from
Canada. They're waiting for Happy Hour when drinks are half
price.'
