Four Old Retired Guys

Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Yuma. They turn a corner
and see a sign that says, , Arizona
“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's a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini. In no time
>the bartender serves up four iced martinis
>—shaken, not stirred—and says, "That'll be 10 cents 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 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 gets the better
>
>of them. They've each had two martinis and haven't even spent a dollar yet.
>
>Finally one of them says, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as
>these for a dime apiece?"
>
>"I'm a retired tailor from Phoenix," the bartender says, “and I always wanted
>to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery
>
>jackpot 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 some story!" one of the men says.
>
>As the four of them sip at their martinis, 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 Florida. They're waiting for
Happy Hour when drinks are half-price!
