The bartender asks the guy sitting at the bar, 'What'll you have?' The guy answers, 'A scotch, please. ' The bartender hands him the drink, and says 'That'll be five dollars, ' to which the guy replies, 'What are you talking about? I don't owe you anything for this. ' A lawyer, sitting nearby and overhearing the conversation, then says to the bartender, 'You know, he's got you there. In the original offer, which constitutes a binding contract upon acceptance, there was no stipulation of remuneration. ' The bartender was not impressed, but says to the guy, 'Okay, you beat me for a drink. But don't ever let me catch you in here again. ' The next day, same guy walks into the bar. Bartender says, 'What the heck are you doing in here? I can't believe you've got the audacity to come back!' The guy says, 'What are you talking about? I've never been in this place in my l ife!' The bartender replies, 'I'm very sorry, but this is uncanny. You must have a double. ' To which the guy replies, 'Thank you. Make it a scotch. '
