A man walks into a bar and sees a sign that says, "Free drinks for anyone who can make our bartender laugh."
Feeling confident, the man confidently strides up to the bartender and says, "I'll have a beer and a joke, please."
The bartender pours him a beer and says, "Alright, let's hear it."
The man clears his throat and begins his joke, "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!"
The bartender chuckles and says, "That's a good one, but I've heard it before. Sorry, no free drinks for you."
Determined to win the bet, the man thinks for a moment and then says, "Okay, okay, I've got another one for you. Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!"
The bartender bursts out laughing and says, "Bravo! That one's definitely worth a free drink. What can I get you?"
The man grins and says, "I'll have a shot of whiskey, but make it a double. I have a feeling I'm going to need it after hearing those jokes."
