At 3 a.m. a desk clerk at a hotel gets a call from a drunk guy asking what time the bar opens. “It opens at noon,” answers the clerk.

About an hour later he gets a call from the same guy, sounding even drunker. “What time does the bar open?” he asks.

“Same time as before-noon,” replies the clerk.

Another hour passes and the guy calls again, plastered. “What do you say the bar opens at?”

The clerk then answers, “It opens at noon, but if you can’t wait, I can have room service send something up to you.”

“No,” the man says. “I don’t wanna get in… Ah wanna get OUT!!!”
