A man goes into a pub, and takes a seat at the bar. In front of
him in a bowl are some peanuts. He orders a pint off the barman
and as the barman walks away, the man starts hearing voices.
"You're looking GOOD today!"
Startled, but not displeased the man looks around to see who said
it - however, the seats beside him are empty and the barman
is at the other end of the bar - so thinking it was meant for
somebody else, he settles back down and starts reading a
newspaper.
A few minutes later, he hears the voice again,
"Wow, did anyone ever tell you you could pass for a movie star!"
The man is again surprised, and looks round again, but cannot see
anybody who would have said it, so settles back into reading his
newspaper, muttering to himself "Must be somebody else."
"No, I mean you handsome," the voice says to him.
Now the man is worried, and calls the barman over.
"I'm sorry," he explains, "But I need a stiff drink also - I keep
hearing this voice telling me how good I look."
"Ah," he says, "that'll be the complimentary peanuts."
