A man in a bar has a couple of beers and the barman tells him he owes 6.50.
'But I paid you, don't you remember?' replies the customer.
'Okay,' says the barman, 'if you said you paid, you did.'
The man then goes outside and tells the first person he sees that the barman can't keep track of whether his customers have paid or not.
The second man then rushes in, orders a beer and later plays the same trick.
The barman replies, 'If you say you paid, I'll take your word for it.'
Soon the customer goes out into the street, sees an old friend, and tells him how he got some free drinks and told him to try it too.
The man hurries into the bar and begins to drink double scotches when suddenly, the barman leans over and 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 mouth.'
'Don't bother me with your troubles,' the final patron responds. 'Just give me my change and I'll be on my way.'
