Bad Day
A little guy is sitting at the bar just staring at his drink for half an hour when this big trouble-making biker steps next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig.
The poor little guy starts crying.
“Come on, man. I’m just giving you a hard time,” the biker says.
“I didn’t think you’d CRY. I can’t stand to see a man cry.”
“This is one of the worst days of my life,” says the little guy between sobs.
“I can’t do anything right.”
“I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I don’t have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. My wife ran off with the gardener and my dog bit me. So, I came to this bar trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life, and then you show up and drink the poison I put in my drink.”
