Business Deal

"Business Deal"

A young businessman had just started his own firm.

He'd rented a beautiful office and had it furnished
with antiques. Sitting there, he saw a man come
into the outer office. Wishing to appear busy, the
businessman picked up the phone and started
to pretend he had a big deal working. He threw
huge figures around and made giant commitments.

Finally, he hung up and asked the visitor,
"Can I help you?"

The man said, "Sure. I've come to install the phone."

"Double or Nothing"

A bartender asks a guy sitting at the bar: "What'll you have?"

"A scotch, please," the guy replies.

The bartender gives him the drink and says: "That's five dollars."

"What are you talking about?" the man replies. "I
don't owe you anything for this."

The fellow sitting next to him at the bar is a lawyer,
who decides to get into the discussion. "You know,"
he tells the bartender: "he's got you there. In the original
offer, constituting a binding contract upon acceptance,
there was no stipulation of payment."

The irritated bartender says to the first guy: "Fine. You
beat me for a drink. But I don't ever want to see you in here again."

The following day, the very same guy comes back
into the bar. The bartender says: "What the heck are
you doing in here? I told you not to come back!"

The guy replies: "What are you talking about? I've never
been in this place before in my life!" The bartender looks
confused and says, "I'm so sorry then, but this is really
weird. You must have a double."

The man immediately replies, "Why thank you very much!
Make it a scotch."
