It's a Pueblo thing............or is it a Florida thing?

Four retired guys were walking down the street in Ft. Meyers, Florida when they saw a sign that said, "Old Timer's Bar" "All Drinks 10 Cents!"

They looked at each other, then went in, thinking this is too good to be true.

The old bartender said in a voice that carried across the room, "Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?"

All four asked for a martini. In short order, the bartender served up four iced martinis, shaken, not stirred, and said, "That'll be 10 cents each, please."

The four men stared at the bartender for a moment, looked at each other....then paid the 40 cents.

After the second round, which cost them under a dollar, their curiosity got the best of them. Finally, one of the men said, "How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for only a dime apiece?"

"Well, I'm a retired tailor from Boston, and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $50 million and decided to o pen this place. Every drink costs a dime, wine, liquor, beer, all the same."

"Wow, that's quite a story" said one of the men.

As they continued to sip their martinis, they couldn't help but notice the other three guys at the end of the bar who didn't have a drink in front of them....and hadn't ordered anything all the while they were there.

One of the men gestured toward the men with no drinks and asked the bartender, "What's with them?"

"Oh, they're from Pueblo. They're waiting for happy hour at 5 o'clock when drinks are half price."

Ines - You tell me? I guess it's a matter of perspective as far as the drinks go.  But in Pueblo buying and selling houses it's true. I've watched sellers hold their breath until they turned blue and lost the house. And I written offers on houses that were unbelievable = say 75% . So what does this joke have to do with real estate?

Dena, I liked that. Some people are born to negotiate and there is nothing wrong with that.
