Four old retired guys were walking down a street in a retirement village in Florida. They turned a corner and see a sign that said, “Old Timers' Bar – All Drinks 10 cents.”

The four guys looked at each other and entered the bar, thinking this was too good to be true. An old bartender warmly greeted them in a voice that carried across the room, “Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?”

Each of the men asked for a martini. In short order, the bartender expertly prepared and served four iced martinis and said, “That'll be 10 cents each, please.” The four men stared at the bartender for a moment and looked at each other. They couldn't believe their good luck.

They paid the 40 cents, finished their martinis, and ordered another round. Again, the bartender produced four excellent martinis and said, “That's 40 cents, please.” So far, they each had been served two martinis of exceptionally high quality and collectively had spent less than a dollar.

Finally, their curiosity became more than they could stand. One of the men asked, “How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for just a dime?”

The bartender said, “I'm a retired tailor from Boston and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year, I hit the lottery for $25 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,” said 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 of the men gestured at the seven at the end of the bar and asked the bartender, “What's with them? They haven’t ordered a thing!”

The bartender said, “Oh, those old fellows are from Wisconsin. They’re waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price.”
