...when suddenly a chap I've never seen before walks up to the bar........
.....and asks our barman for a pint of bitter....
The barman says, "Bitter’s off just now, we’re waiting for the dray and a delivery."
Our barman offers him a pint of lager...
....which he sips at puts back down on the bar in digust....
The man then says, "No Bitter!" He angrily exclaims.....
.....the continues "OK then, I'll have a flaming rum and coke."
After drinking his amazing 'flaming' rum and coke, he goes back to the bar and again asks for a pint of bitter.
Once again the barman says "We still don't have any!", so the man orders a screwdriver.
He drinks his screwdriver. He then goes back and asks yet again for a pint of bitter.
The barman says "Look, if you take the rum out of a rum and coke, what do you have?"
The man replies, "Coke."
"If you take the vodka out of a screwdriver, what do you have?"
The man replies, "Orange juice."
"Now, if you take the flame out of a pint of bitter, what do you have?"
The man looks puzzled, "There is no flame in a pint of bitter."
The barman replies, "Now...That’s what I've been trying to tell you!"
Tallyho!
