Double offer
A man went into a pub in the heart of the West End of London.
“Good evening, sir,” said the landlord. “What would you like to drink?”
“A large whisky, thank you.”
The landlord poured him his drink and said, “That’ll be £4.75 please.”
“Oh no,” said the man. “I distinctly recall you inviting me to have a drink with you. I thought it was very kind of you.”
The landlord turned to another customer, who was a solicitor, and asked for support. The solicitor said that he was sorry but the landlord had definitely made the offer and the man had accepted it, so he did not have to pay.
The landlord was furious and turned the man out of the pub, telling him never to come back again. But about ten minutes later the man reappeared.
“I thought I told you never to come back?” said the landlord.
“I’ve never been here before in my life,” said the man.
“The you must have a double,” said the landlord.
“Thank you very much, I will and I’m sure our solicitor friend would like one too.”
