A joke


I was having a drink in my local pub the other day when to everybody's amazement this pink and purple spotted kanguroo came through the door, hopped straight up to the bar and onto one of the bar stools.

The barman, who did his best not to show how atonished he was, went over and asked him what he wanted to drink. The kangaroo put a twenty pound note down on the bar and said he'd have a pint of beer. The barman served him and the kangaroo began to drink his pint. All the other customers stored in desbelief.

As soon as the kangaroo finished his pint, he asked the barman how much he owed him. The barman was almost certain that the kangaroo had never been in a pub before and couldn't possibly have any idea of the price of a pint of beer so he told him he owed twenty pounds. The kangaroo handed over the money and jumped down from his stool.

As he was hopping towards the door of the pub, the barman, who felt a bit guilty about overcharging him so much, called out to him: 'See you again some time! We don't get many pink and purple spotted kangaroos drinking in this pub, you know.'

'I'm not surprised,' said the kangaroo, 'considering that you charge twenty pounds for a pint!'
