A stranger walks into a bar and puts a pound coin on the counter and asks for half a pint of bitter. The barmaid asks him whether he would like Guinness or Worthington. The stranger asks for Guinness. Another complete stranger comes into the bar, puts a pound on the counter and also asks for half a pint of bitter. The barmaid immediately pulls half a pint of Guinness. How did she know what the second man, who was completely unknown to her, wanted?

(think in a crooked way for this one)

There's 60 Million of us here on the island that know what a pound is. Strangely enough it's the same 60 Million that know what REAL beer tastes like!

Anyway, for your education: 1 pound = 16 ounces :-)
