Three Navy Chiefs met in a bar and spent the afternoon drinking and telling sea stories. Finally, as evening approached, they realized that it was time to go. So they signaled the bartender and told him they wanted to pay their tab.
The bartender left and returned, saying the total bar bill was $3.00.
"Three dollars," they gasped, and one said, "Surely you must be wrong, it has to be more than $3.00, we've been here all afternoon, we must have had 10 beers apiece."
"That's right" said the bartender, "thirty beers at ten cent's apiece, that's $3.00."
They men were amazed that the beer was so cheap, but the bartender went on to explain. "You see," he said, "I won the lottery and I wanted to open a bar where folks could come and drink for a reasonable price and have fun. So use my lottery winnings to subsidize the cost, that's why drinks are so cheap."
The men nodded, but one of them asked the bartender, "Those two guys over there, they've been here for two hours and they haven't had anything to drink, what's going on?"
"Oh those guys" the bartender replied, "they're Navy pilots, they're waiting for happy hour."
