A man in a bar has a couple of beers and the bartender tells him he owes $6.50.“But I paid，don’t you remember？”says the customer.“Okay，”says the bartender，“If you said you paid，you did.”The man then goes outside and tells the first person he sees that the bartender can’t keep track of whether his customers have paid. The second man then rushes in，orders a beer and later pulls the same stunt. The barkeeper replies，“If you say you paid，I’ll take your word for it.”Soon the customer goes into the street，sees an old friend，and tells him how to get free drinks. The man hurries into the bar and begins to drink highballs when suddenly，the bartender 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 on the face.”“Don’t bother me with your troubles，”the final patron responds.“Just give me my change and I’ll be on my way.”

找我零钱
酒吧里一个人喝了两杯啤酒，酒吧招待告诉他应付6.5美元。“但是，我已经付过钱了，你不记得了？”他说。酒吧招待说道：“好，你说付过就付过吧！”于是他走出酒吧，告诉他见到的第一个人说酒吧里的招待记不住顾客是否付过酒钱。第二个人走进酒吧，要了一杯啤酒，并故伎重施。酒吧招待答道：“如果你说付过了，我相信你就是了。”接着这个人来到街上告诉他的一位老朋友怎样能喝到免费啤酒。那位朋友匆忙赶到酒吧，当他要了一杯冰威士忌开始喝时，那个酒吧招待走过来说：“你知道今晚这儿发生的有趣的事吗？有两个人喝了啤酒都没付钱，但都宣称付过了。如果有哪个家伙再敢试着这么干，我将狠狠地打他的脸。”“不要用你的倒霉事来烦我，”最后的这位顾客道，“快找零钱，我要回去了。”
