A man in a bar has a couple of beers, and the bartender tells
him he owes $4.

"But I paid, don't you remember?" says the customer.

"Okay," says the bartender, "If you said you paid, you did."

The man then goes outside and tells the first person he sees
that the bartender can't keep track of whether his customers
have paid.

The second man then ruses in, orders a beer and later pulls the
same stunt.

The barkeep replies, "If you say you paid, I'll take your word for
it."

Soon the customer goes into the street, sees an old friend, and
tells him how to get free drinks.

The man hurries into the bar and begins to drink high-balls
when, suddenly, the bartender leans over sand says, "You
know, a funny thing happened in here tonight. Two men were
drinking beer, neither paid and both claimed that they did. The
next guy who tries that is going to get punched right in the
nose."

"Don't bother me with your troubles," the final patron responds.
"Just give me my change and I'll be on my way."
