I think I remember this forum having an anecdote thread a long long time ago, but it could just as well be the lack of fluid in my head playing tricks. Anyway - the task is simple: you know an anecdote and you post it. If you don''t have an anecdote, please don''t post.
Here''s one:
A man goes to a bar and sits down by the counter. His grim face draws the bartender''s attention. "What''ll it be?", he asks the man. The visitor looks up and utters: "A whiskey and another one". The bar tender pours two shots of whiskey and hands them to the man who quickly pours one down his throat and the other one in his pocket. "A whiskey and another one," he says. The bartender is somewhat amazed at the man''s behaviour, but pours him two more shots of whiskey nevertheless. Again, the man pours one down his own thorat and the other one in his pocket. He then continues ordering whiskeys two at a time for several rounds, drinking one himself and pouring the other one in his pocket, until the bartender finally steps up and says: "hey, listen, man - you''re wasting perfectly good stuff here. If you want to this, go elsewhere.". The man looks straight at the bartender and replies: "You got a problem with that?". He then pulls out his six-shooter: "Do you have any idea who you''re messing with? If I hear one more word out of you, I''ll start shooting!". At that moment a mouse sticks his head out of the man''s pocket and, drunken as hell, waves his fist at everybody: "And your cat - we''ll beat him to a pulp, too.".
A good Western accent works best for the dialog, drunk voice for the mouse. The joke is actually pretty hilarious if told right.
