Or Else!

"Arriving to Arizona"*

*At the urging of his doctor, John moved to Arizona.

After settling in, he met a neighbor who was also an older man.

"Say, my doctor recommended I move here for my health.
Is this really a good place to live?"

"It sure is," the man replied. "When I first arrived here
I couldn't say one word. I had hardly any hair on my head.
I didn't have the strength to walk across a room and I had
to be lifted out of bed."

"That's wonderful!" said John. "How long have you been here?"

"Oh, I was born here."

*****************************************************

"Or Else!"*

*A big, beefy, leather-wearing, biker type fellow walks into
a bar, slams his fist down, and demands in a loud voice,
"Give me a bottle of beer, or else...!"

Scared, the bartender serves the man his beer. This
happens every day for a week straight, and the bartender
turns into a nervous wreck. He asks his wife for advice,
and she tells him he should stand up for himself. Easier
said than done, he thinks, but he decides to try it.

The next day, the biker returns.

"Give me a bottle of beer, or else...!"

"O-o-o-or else w-w-w-what?" stammers the bartender.

"Or I'll take a draft if you're out of bottles."
