Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Punta
Gorda, Florida. They turned a corner and see a sign that
says, '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 seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men
ordered a martini. In short order, the bartender serves
up four iced martinis...shaken, not stirred, and says,
'That'll be 10 cents each, please.' The four men stare at
the bartender for a moment. Then look 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 is more than they
can stand. They have each had two martinis and so far
they have spent less than a dollar. Finally one of the men
says, 'How can you afford to serve martinis as good as
these for a dime a piece?'

'I'm a retired tailor from Boston,' the bartender said,
and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the
Lottery 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 quite a story, says 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 man
gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks
and asks the bartender, 'What's with them?'

The bartender says, 'Oh, they're all old retired finlanders
from the UP of Michigan. They're waiting for happy hour when
drinks are half price.'
