Four guys are walking down a street in Cooktown. They turned a corner and see a sign that says Old Timers Bar All Drinks 10 cents!
They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true.
The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, Come in and let me pour one for you! Whatll it be, gentlemen?
There seemed to be a fully stocked bar, so each of the men ask for a martini. In short order, the bartender serves up four iced Martinis, shaken, not stirred and says, Thatll be 10 cents each please.
The four men stare at the bartender for a moment, then look at each other. They cant believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their Martinis and order another round.
Again four excellent Martinis are produced and the bartender saying, Thats 40 cents please. They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They have each had two Martinis and so far have spent less than a dollar.
Finally one of the men says, How can you afford to serve Martinis as good as these for only 10 cents each?
Im a retired sailor from Sydney, the bartender said, and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery for $25 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs ten cents wine, beer, liquor, its all the same. Wow!! Thats quite a story says one of the men.
The four of them sipped at their Martinis and couldnt help but notice seven other people at the end of the bar who didnt have drinks in front of them, and hadnt ordered anything the whole time they were there. One man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, Whats with them?
The bartender says, Oh, theyre all grey nomads from the caravan park, waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price.

Ha, judging by a couple of recent posts regarding small amounts of money I suspect it may well be true.
