A man walks into a bar and sees a sign that says, "Free drinks for life, just solve our riddle!" Intrigued, he approaches the bartender and asks for the riddle.
The bartender says, "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100. If you can guess it in three tries, you'll get free drinks for life."
The man thinks for a moment and says, "Is it 50?"
The bartender shakes his head and says, "No, higher."
The man tries again and says, "Is it 75?"
Again, the bartender shakes his head and says, "No, lower."
Feeling confident, the man says, "Is it 63?"
The bartender smiles and says, "Congratulations, you got it! The number was 63. Enjoy your free drinks for life!"
Ecstatic, the man starts drinking and after a few drinks, he asks the bartender, "By the way, what would have happened if I didn't guess the number correctly?"
The bartender chuckles and says, "Oh, you would have had to buy the entire bar a round of drinks every day for the rest of your life!"
The man laughs and says, "Well, I'm sure glad I guessed correctly! This is the best deal ever!"
As the night goes on, the man gets more and more intoxicated and starts bragging to the other patrons about his free drinks for life. But as he's stumbling around the bar, he accidentally knocks over a table, spilling drinks all over the floor.
The bartender looks at him with a stern face and says, "Hey, watch it buddy. You know what happens if you break anything in here, right?"
The man gulps and says, "Uh, what happens?"
The bartender smirks and says, "You have to buy the entire bar a round of drinks every day for the rest of your life. And guess what? You just broke that table."
The man's face turns pale as he realizes his mistake, and he mutters to himself, "Well, I guess it's true what they say… there's no such thing as a free drink in this bar!"
