At the Bar

I walk into a bar, looking to shoot a game of pool. All the tables are taken by kids, they look to be about ten or eleven years old. I ask the bartender “How come these kids are here? I thought it was against the law for minors to be in a bar.”

He answers “It’s OK, as long as they aren’t drinking.”

I notice that as people order drinks, sometimes the bartender gives them out free, sometimes he charges double. I wait until he has just charged someone double, then I order a beer. The bartender gives it to me free.
