During the
Great Depression, there was this man who walked into a bar one day. He
walked up to the bartender
and said, "Bartender,
I'd like to buy the house a round of drinks". The bartender said, "That's
fine, but we're in the
middle of the
Depression, so I'll need to see some money first". The guy pulls out a
huge wad of bills and sets
them on the
bar. Well, the bartender can't believe what he's seeing. "Where did you
get all that money?" asked
the bartender.
"I'm a professional gambler", replied the man. The bartender said, "There's
no such thing! I mean,
your odds are
50-50 at best, right?" "Well, I only bet on sure things," said the guy.
"Like what?" asked the
bartender?
"Well, for
example, I'll bet you $50 that I can bite my right eye." The bartender
thought about it. "OK". So, the
guy pulls out
his false right eye and bites it. "Aw, you screwed me", said the bartender,
and paid the guy his $50.
"I'll give
you another chance. I'll bet you another $50 that I can bite my LEFT eye,"
said the stranger. The
bartender thought
again and said, "Well, I know you're not blind, I mean I watched you walk
in here. I'll take that
bet". So, the
guy pulls out his false teeth and bites his left eye. "Aw, you screwed
me again". "That's how I win so
much money,
bartender. I'll just take a bottle of your best scotch in lieu of the $50",
said the man.
With that,
the guy went to the back room and spent the better part of the night playing
cards with some of the
locals. After
many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbled up to the bar. The
guy, drunk as a skunk, said,
"Bartender,
I'll give you one last chance. I'll bet you $500 that I can stand on this
bar here on one foot and piss
into that whiskey
bottle on that shelf behind you without spilling a drop".
The bartender
once again pondered the bet. The guy couldn't even stand up straight on
two feet, much less one.
"OK, you're
on". The guy climbed up on the bar, stood on one leg, and began pissing
all over the place. He hit the
bar, the bartender,
himself, but not a drop made it into the whiskey bottle.
The bartender
was ecstatic. Laughing, the bartender said, "Hey pal, you owe me $500!"
The guy climbed down off
the bar and
said, "That's OK. I just bet each of the guys in the card room $1000 each
that I could piss all over
you AND the
bar and still make you laugh!"
