What&#8217;ll it be, gentlemen?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    There&#8217;s a fully stocked bar, so each of the men orders a martini.  In no time the bartender serves up four iced martinis shaken, not stirred and says, &#8220;That&#8217;ll be 10 cents each, please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    The four guys stare at the bartender for a moment, then at each other. They can&#8217;t believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis, and order another round.<\/p>\n<p>    Again, four excellent martinis are produced, with the bartender again saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s 40 cents, please.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    They pay the 40 cents, but their curiosity gets the better of them. They&#8217;ve each had two martinis and haven&#8217;t even spent a dollar yet.<\/p>\n<p>    Finally one of them says, &#8220;How can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime apiece?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;I&#8217;m a retired tailor from Phoenix ,&#8221; the bartender says, &#8220;and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the Lottery Jackpot for $125 million and decided to open this place. Every drink costs a dime. Wine, liquor, beer it&#8217;s all the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;Wow! That&#8217;s some story!&#8221; one of the men says.<\/p>\n<p>    As the four of them sip at their martinis, they can&#8217;t help noticing seven other people at the end of the bar who don&#8217;t have any drinks in front of them and haven&#8217;t ordered anything the whole time they&#8217;ve been there.  Nodding at the seven at the end of the bar, one of the men asks the Bartender, &#8220;What&#8217;s with them?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    The bartender says, &#8220;They&#8217;re retired Naval Aviators .
