You can drink to that

He stole the ticket and still charged him for the beer

Thanks for finally paying your bar tab bung.

Well I don’t get it!

Well – the profit on $5k worth of sales.

That works.

Just wait till the King collects on the “Woo Hoo” tax. The King can’t let all that good money go to waste now could he?

I am thinking since Bung drinks so much the bartender knows he will find a lost lottery ticket and win $5000.00

Funnier if you remember beer cost five or ten cents 90 years ago…

WC Fields character (I forget what movie) to bartender: “Was I in here last night, and did I spend $20?”

Bartender: “yes.”

Fields: “thank god. I thought I lost it.”

$5,000…and after The Fink’s taxes, you should clear about $5…

Bung takes the Publishers Clearing House spam too seriously.

I was in a restaurant with a bar, picking up food. A guy I knew, who was a ‘regular’ at several bars handed his quick pick ticket to the bartender. The bartender laughed and gave it back and said he had to take it to the lottery office to cash. (The max lottery retailers can pay out is $600!) He put the ticket in his shirt pocket. I always wondered how much he won, and if he remembered the ticket was there (presuming he didn’t get rolled by another ‘regular!’)

I Don’t think that’s a bartender, it looks like just another customer, so I really don’t get it

Indeed. A fool and his money are soon parted.

I won the lottery once. I spent half of it on beer, liquor and women. The other half I wasted.

5,000 bucks worth of beer. That cannot be healthy.

Yeah, i agree w it meaning Bung can finally pay off his tab all at once.

Bung should have shut up. That’s a very expensive beer

THIEF

Easy come, easy flow out. But at least filtered. Yip yip yip yip yip

What was the dollar value back then?

bung spends all the money in that bar

“…I know where the money is going to go.”

I CAME HERE BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE I GET IT . DISAPPOINTED

Bung paid his bar tab.

Ha ha, Bung’s an alcoholic.

Hey, barkeep, is it really “winning” when he just paid off $5000 of his tab? Granted, it’s likely the only way you could get paid, but still…
