A union boss walks into a bar next door to the factory and is about to
> order a drink to celebrate Obama’s victory when he sees a guy close by
> wearing a Romney for President button and two beers in front of him.
> He doesn't have to be an Einstein to know that this guy is a
> Republican. So, he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that
> everyone can hear, "Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not
> for the Republican."
>
> Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Republican gives him a
> big smile, waves at him, then says, "Thank you!" in an equally loud
> voice. This infuriates the union boss.
>
> So the union boss once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except
> the Republican. As before, this does not seem to bother the
> Republican. He continues to smile, and again yells, "Thank you!"
>
> So just to make his point one more time, the union boss once again
> loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Republican. But, as
> before, this does not seem to bother the Republican. He continues to
> smile, and again yells, "Thank you!"
>
> Frustrated, the union boss asks the bartender, "What the hell is the
> matter with that Republican? I've ordered three rounds of drinks for
> everyone in the bar but him, and all the silly ass does is smile and
> thank me. Is he nuts?"
>
> "Nope," replies the bartender. "He owns the place."
