text: impossible?riddle? a young man walked into the bar and had a seat at the pub. he simply orders a water. the bartender looks at him and pulls out a shotgun and points it at him. why did the bartender behave this way? #`1guess; the young man had the hiccups and the bartender was trying to scare the hiccups away.  #2 guess;  the young man was a cheapskate who sat there last time, never paid for a drink, ate a bunch of free popcorn and didn't leave the bartender so much as one penny for a tip.
