The bartender asks him
“What’ll you have?”.
The guy answers,
“A scotch, please”. The bartender hands him the
drink, and
says “That’ll be five dollars”, to which he replies “What
are
you talking about? I don’t owe you anything for
this”.

A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation,
then
says to the bartender, “You know, he’s got you there. In
the original
offer, which consitutes a binding contract upon
acceptance, there
was no stipulation of remuneration”. The
bartender’s not impressed,
but says to the guy, “Okay, you
beat me for a drink. But don’t
ever let me catch you in here
again”.

The next day, same guy
walks into the bar. Bartender says,
“What the hell are you doing in
here? I can’t believe you’ve
got the audacity to come back!”.

The guy says “What are you talking about? I’ve never been in

this place in my life”, to which the bartender replies “I’m

nvery sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double.”

To
which the guy replies “Thank you! Make it a scotch.”
