Two guys walked into a bar late one
afternoon and noticed that, among the few customers, was one guy sitting
quietly in the shadows at the end of the bar. The two ordered some beers.
The bartender brought them and said, "that will be 50 cents please."
They started a tab and a short time later ordered two more beers and again
they were charged 25 cents each. The two could not believe the good deal
and after having a third beer for the same price, they decided to ask the
bartender what the catch was. The bartender replied, "there is no catch,
gentlemen. I have just started brewing this beer on site and I am selling
it below cost to introduce it to my customers. I am happy to see that you
enjoy the beer." Indeed, they noticed that almost everyone was enjoying
the beer and the remarkable price except for the one man at the end of the
bar. He had not ordered anything since the two came in. Becoming very curious
about the guy at the end of the bar, the two asked the bartender, "Doesn't
he ever order anything?" "Oh yes," said the bartender. "That
is Kenneth Jarvis our local CPA. He is just waiting for happy hour."
