Best Bar Joke I Have Heard In Years
Siamese Twins Walk into a Bar ...
Siamese twins walk into a bar in Canada and park themselves on a bar stool. One of them says to the bartender, "Don't mind us we're joined at the hip. I'm John, he's Jim. Two Molson beers, please."
The bartender, feels slightly awkward, so he tries to make polite conversation while pouring their beers. "You lads on vacation?" "Nope but next month we are off to England," says John. "We go to England every year. We stay there for 10 days and rent a car. Every day we drive for miles. Don't we, Jim?" Jim nods his head in agreement.
"Ah, England!" says the bartender. "Wonderful country... the rich history, the bold fresh beers, the culture." "Nah, we don't like any of that British crap," says John. "Hamburgers and Molson's beer, that's for us, eh Jim"? Again Jim nods his head to show his agreement.
"We can't stand the English - they're rude and so damn arrogant, we don't like their beers and we don't care about their culture."
"So why do you lads keep going to England year after year?" asks the bartender.
"It's the only chance Jim gets to drive."

Public Safety Advisory
Just received this information from a good friend and wanted to get it out ASAP to all of you in the bar and beverage industries. The US Homeland Security Agency has just issued an advisory notice you should be aware of If your work involves serving the public or dealing with a lot of foreign travelers this information could save your life.
According to homeland security the number one tactic terrorists and ‘disturbed US citizens’ are now using is to - conceal their weapons. Concealing or disguising their weapons from the public is necessary especially when they enter bars, taverns, pubs & grills, night clubs, casinos, country clubs etc. as well as larger outdoor public gathering places such as beer fests and summer concerts where alcoholic beverages are served.
Please look closely at the picture provided.

Please look closely at the picture provided.
At first glance - to an untrained eye – this might look like a normal “Red Solo party cup”; however if you study this picture carefully you may be able to notice there is a fully loaded, automatic Glock 18-C pistol carefully hidden inside the cup.
Analyst and forecasters at Homeland Security believe terrorists and disturbed American citizens may soon be using this ‘Red Solo cup’ disguise to conceal their weapons.
During these troubling times is important we in the hospitality and food & beverage industries stay vigilant at all times. I urge you to share this information with your colleagues, co-workers and neighbors. Remember if you, your co-workers or neighbors, are not able to spot a weapon disguised like this you might just be the recipient of a cup of hot lead.

Bartender Trivia - Parcheesi
As many of you know I am a big fan of trivia. Customers who come in to your bar or tavern when you are on duty do not want to be burdened with problems. They want to come in, relax and have fun. So why not entertain them with great trivia.
Parcheesi is a board game that many of use played as children. Few people however are aware that Parcheesi is a board game that originated in India. Parcheesi was a game played by only the ruling class of India.
The game (Parcheesi) was played outdoors in the palace garden(s) and the pieces - get this - which were human servants - beautiful young women who served the ruler.
The game pieces actually walked across color tiles placed in the lawn. The goal was to get all the pieces (the young ladies) home. Home was the center of the garden were the lord of the house sat with his friends.

Bartender Trivia - Drive In Theaters
As many of you know I am a big fan of 'trivia'. I think bar owners and bartenders who know good trivia - really good trivia entice their customers to come back.
Its a fact, Customers who enter your bar, tavern or pub when you are working do not want to be burdened with 'problems' - your problems, your business's problems or the communities problems - they have problems of their own.
Customers who enter your bar come in to relax and have a good time. In other words they want to have fun and escape from their reality. So why not entertain them when they are in your bar? Entertain them with some really great trivia. Trivia they can enjoy and trivia they can relate to.
See if they know this one ... The first driven-in theater in the United States was opened in Camden, NJ. It was built by Richard Hollingshead.
To create his drive-in Mr. Hollingshead strung a sheet between two trees and mounted a project on the hood of his car.
Here is the kicker. Why did he create a drive in theater? Well he said his mother was the inspiration for his idea.
His mother was a very large woman who always felt uncomfortable sitting in the small seats found in movie theaters of the day. By showing his movie outside his mother could sit in the front seat of his car and enjoy the movie.
