Man walks into a pub........

Man walks into a pub....Goes up to the bar and asks the landlord for a glass of water.
The landlord reaches under the counter, pulls out a shotgun and fires, just missing the customer's head.
"Thanks very much", says the man. Gives the landlord a five pound tip and walks out.

Why ?

The man had hiccups and the gunshot scared him - thus stopping his hiccups.

(sorry, I thought I knew the answer but had to google it to be sure)

Quite right Shecky.

I only just heard it ......But I thought it must be quite an old one.

Cheers - Phil.

It was current when I was an undergrad.

You have to wonder where they originate !

Sounds a bit like:

Guy walks into a bar (ouch!) and asks the landlord for a pint of lager.

The landlord pours the pint, places it in front of the guy now sitting down and says "Thats 3 pounds 50p please donkey face".

A man sitting next to the guy says "hey, he just called you donkey face, I wouldn`t stand for that."

And the guy replies: "That`s ok.. he... he or... e-or.... e-or... e-or.... `e always calls me that!"
