Four retired vets are walking down the street window shopping.
Then they turn a corner and see a sign that says "Veterans Bar" over
the doorway of an entry into an establishment that doesn't look all
that well kept up. They look at each other then go in. On the
inside, they realize in this case, they could judge the 'book by it's
cover'.

The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room,
"Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be,
gentlemen?" There seems to be a fully stocked bar so the men
all ask for a martini. In short time the bartender serves up
4 iced martinis - shaken not stirred and says, "That'll be 40
cents for the round, please."

The four men stare at the bartender for a moment then look at
each other-they can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40
cents, finish their martinis and order another round. Again,
four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again
saying, "That's 40 more cents, please."

They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity is more than they can
stand. They've each had two martinis and so far they've spent
less than a dollar. Finally one of the men says, "How can you
afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece?"

The bartender replies, "No doubt you've noticed the decor in
here. And the outside ain't nothin' to write home about.
I don't waste money on that stuff. But, here's my story.
I'm a retired Master Chief and I always wanted to own
a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $45 million and
decided to open this place for real veterans. Every drink
costs a dime, wine, liquor, beer, all the same."

"Wow. That's quite a story." says one of the men. The four
of them sipped at their martinis and couldn't help but notice
three other guys at the end of the bar who didn't have a
drink in front of them and hadn't ordered anything the whole
time they were there.

One man finished his martini and, gestured at the three at
the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender,
"What's with them?"

The bartender says, "Oh, those are retired Air Force Colonels.
They're waiting for happy hour." "Drink's are half price then."


So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it.
