Lord Noel Witnesses A Bitter Struggle

Whatto! Barmen....

I was in our local pub recently....

...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!
