Four retired guys are walking down a street in Milwaukee.
>Then they turn

>DRINKS 10
> CENTS!" They look at each other, and then go in.
> 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 seems to be a fully stocked bar, so the men all ask
>for a martini.
> In short order, the bartender serves up 4 iced martinis and
>says,
> "That'll be 10 cents each, please."
> 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 more
>cents,
> please." They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more
>than they

>spent less

> Finally one of the men couldn't stand it any longer ! and
