tender presided and asked for beer.
After his glass was filled he said:

The bartender drew one and the two
drank.
"Now," said he Of the thirst, I'll
match you to see who pays. Lend me
a coin to match WITH"
Amazed at the gall of the party, the

and down he slapped them on the
counter. One was a head and the
other was a tail.
Didn't you say you were matching
