Random 'into a bar' jokes...

A man walks into a bar and order ten shots of tequila.

“Wow, looks like someone had a rough day,” says the bartender as she pours the shots.

The man downs them all, then says, “You’d drinking this way, too, if you had what I got.”

“What’s that?” asks the bartender.

“Fifty cents.”
