      Script

      In a bar a guy told the bartender, “I’m a professional gambler; I’ve made of lots of money fromgambling.”

      The bartender answered, “I can hardly believe it. Your odds are fifty-fifty at best, right?”

      “Well, I only bet on sure things,” said the guy.

      “Like what?” asked the bartender.

      The bartender thought about it, “Okay,” he said.

      So the guy pulled out his false right eye and bit it, “Ah, you screwed me,” said the bartender, and paid the guy fifty dollars.

      “I’ll give you another chance. I’ll bet you another fifty dollars that I can bite my left eye,” said the stranger.

      The bartender thought it over again and said, “Well, I can see you’re not blind. I’ll take that bet.”

      So, the guy pulled out his false teeth and bit his left eye. And the bartender had to pay him another fifty dollars.

      Then the guy went to the back room to play cards with some of the locals. After many hours of drinking and card playing, he stumbles up to the bartender and said, “Bartender, I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll bet you 500 dollars that I can dump tomato juice into that whiskey bottle three foot away without spilling a drop.”

      The bartender thought the guy must be drunk now, “Okay, you’re on,” he said.

      The guy began dumping tomato juice all over the bartender, but no a drop fell into the whiskey bottle.

      The bartender was overjoyed. Laughing, the bartender said, “Hey, pal, you owe me five hundred dollars!”

      The guy said, “That’s okay. I just bet the guys in the card room1, 000 bucks each, that I could dump tomato juice all over you but you still laugh!”
