A skier comes into a bar at lunch. He asks for a beer. The bartender says, "that'll be a nickel." The skier is astounded. "A nickel? That's so cheap!" The bartender replies, "it's always a nickel here." The skier is elated and declares, "sick! Bring me a pitcher!" As he drinks, he notices some men at the bar drinking nothing. He asks the bartender, "why are those men not enjoying the cheap beer?" The bartender replied, "they are ski patrollers. They are waiting for happy hour."
A little light thought in a world of heavy problems. I hope it is an entertaining as it is enlightening and reinforcing.
