strange man

A man goes into a bar and the barman greets him most civily with: "Good evening sir, and what will you have."
"That's very good of you, I'll have a whisky." replies the man.
The barman pours the drink and then says, "There you go sir, that will two pounds."
"I beg your pardon, sir," replies the man, "but I don't owe you for this!"
The barman just stared, mystified, until a lawyer who happened to be sitting at the end of the bar bursts out laughing.
"He is perfectly correct, I am afraid. When you asked him what he wanted, in this contract you made, you made no implication that the drink he desired was in any way other than an offer of a gift. If he took you to court, I reckon he'd have a case"
The barman was upset, but very impressed with the sagacity of the man so he said, "Well, you got me there, have the drink on me for being so clever. But, after this, YOU'RE BARRED!"
Next day the man returns to the bar and the barman says, "Hey, you, I barred you yesterday, now get out."
"I beg your pardon!" responds the man, "this is the first time I have ever set foot in these premises."
"Oh, I am sorry" replies the barman, "I think you must have a double."
"Thank you very much," the man responds, "Make it a whisky."höjbk
