Thanks to Rosemary Zwick for this one:

A very thirsty man goes into a bar. As he waits to get the
bartender's attention, a regular sitting next to him calls out,
"I'll have another waterloo." The bartender gives the regular
a tall ice cold drink and asks the newcomer what he would
like. The thirsty man points to the man next to him and says,
"That looks great! I'll have what he's having, a waterloo." So
the bartender brings the newcomer a tall ice cold drink. The
man takes a long deep drink and calls out, "HEY! This isn't
any good. It tastes just like water!" The regular bar patron
sitting next to him says, "It is water, buddy. That's all I drink,"
He turns to the bartender and says, "Right Lou?"
