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."

"Do you know how to drive this thing?"
