Old Timer's Bar - all drinks 10 cents! They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true. The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, 'Come on in and let me pour one for you! What'll it be, Gentlemen?'
There seemed to be a fully-stocked bar, so each of the men ask for a beer.. In short order, the bartender serves up four icy cold beers, and says, 'That'll be 10 cents each, please.' The four men stare at the bartender for a moment. Then look at each other...they can't believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their drinks, and order another round.
Again, four schooners are produced and the bartender again saying, 'That's 40 cents, please..' They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They have each had two beers and so far they've spent less than a dollar. Finally one of the men says, 'How can you afford to serve beer as good as this for a 10 cents each?' 'I'm a retired tailor from Sydney,' the bartender said, 'and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery for $25 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs ten cents - wine, liquor, beer, it's all the same.'
Wow!!!! That's quite a story,' says one of the men.
The four of them threw down their beers and couldn't help but notice seven other people at the end of the bar who didn't have drinks in front of them, and hadn't ordered anything the whole time they were there. One man gestures at the seven at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, 'What's with them?'
The bartender says, 'Oh, they're all Victorian grey nomads from the caravan park,waiting for happy hour when drinks are half price.'

Bit hard having a shot at VICTORIAN Grey Nomads. I thought the QUEENSLAND Grey Nomads where the frugal ones. And then there are the snowbirds. You know, too cheap to buy a heater so as soon as the weather gets a bit piccadilly, they up and head for a warmer climate.
