Malvinas Joke
A man walks into a London pub, looking rather grey, wearing a prominent
scar on his face and a T-shirt bearing the legend "Falklands veteran".
The landlord beams at him, asks what he'll have, to which the man replies by mutely indicating his mouth and shaking his head.
"You'll have a pint on the house then," offers the publican, "it's not every day we have a Falklands veteran in here".
The man replied with a thumbs-up and a big smile.
Soon enough, some of the other drinkers drifted over.
"Honoured to meet you," they said to the man, "you really must have something to eat. On us. How about a pie and some beans. It isn't every
day we have a Falklands veteran in here".
The man responded with a thumbs-up and an even bigger smile. Within the hour, the regulars had decided on a whip-around.
"We really must do something to show our appreciation, salute the bravery of veterans like these," said one ancient.
Everyone contributed and it added up to £150. They handed it to the man as he prepared to leave. He put it into his pocket, gave them a jubilant thumbs-up and the biggest smile of all.
"Thank you so much for coming in," said the landlord graciously, "but we
really can't let you go without at least knowing your name. Please write it down for us. We'll put it on our roll of honoured guests".
The man nodded, took the proffered pen and paper and carefully inscribed "Pedro Gonzalez".
