IanForbes Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Bangkok. They turn a corner and see a sign that says, "Old Timers Bar - all drinks 5 baht." 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 gents 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 asks for a Bombay Sapphire martini. In short order, the bartender serves up four iced martinis... Shaken, not stirred, and says, "That'll be 5 baht 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 20 baht, finish their martinis, and order another round. Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, "That's 20 baht, please." They pay the 20 baht, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They have each had two martinis and so far they've spent less than a 100 baht total. Finally one of the men says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for 5 baht apiece?" "I'm a retired tailor from Boston," the bartender says, "but I always wanted to own a bar. Then last year I hit the Lottery for 25 million bucks and decided to open this place. Every drink costs 5 baht apiece - wine, liquor, beer, it's all the same." "Wow!!!! That's quite a story," says one of the men. The four of them sip at their martinis and can't help but notice seven other people at the end of the bar who don't have drinks in front of them, and haven't ordered anything the whole time they have been there. One fellow gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, "What's with them?" The bartender says, "Oh them? hel_l! they're all old retired geezers from Thaivisa. They're all waiting for happy hour when all the drinks are half price!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
