Talking Beer Nuts
A guy walks into an
empty Calgary bar and takes a seat. Suddenly, he hears a little voice say,
“Hey,
you're looking pretty sharp today. New suit, eh?”
The guy looks around but there's no one else in the place. He hears the voice
again.
“Seriously
- you are looking good, mate. Have you lost weight?”
The guy looks around again and still doesn't see anyone.
“Hello?” he asks.
“Is
someone speaking to me?”
“You bet! I just had to say you're a handsome fella!” A bunch of other tiny
voices rise in agreement.
The guy suddenly realizes that the voices are coming from a bowl of beer nuts on
the bar in front of him. He stares at them as the barkeep finally wanders over.
“What'll you have, mate?” asks the barkeep.
“I guess I'll have a pint of Labatts Blue,” mutters the guy, still staring at
the nuts.
He finally looks up at the barkeep drawing his pint, and asks him,
“Hey,
what's with these nuts?”
The barkeep shrugs and says,
“Oh,
they're complimentary.”
