Title: Angry bar man?
Post by koonie32 on Dec 21st, 2006, 4:20pm
Here is a good riddle.

A man enters a bar. Suddenly he gets very angry and brings out a baseball bat and destroys things in the bar. However the bartender does not move at all. He is afraid and is in reach of the phone. When the man leaves (he does not harm anyone) the bartender does not call the authorities. He instead calls someone else? What happened? Who did he call? Why?

The man's wife.  To let her know he was coming home with a bat and was quite angry.

The bat man was a mob strong arm. The bar keeper wasn't paying for his protection and so the strong arm decided to remind him of his delinquent dues. When the strong arm leaves, the bar keep calls the mob boss to let him know he (a) won't be intimidated, or (b) the money is soon on the way...

It is an avant-garde performance.  The show of the evening included an angry man destroying a car in public.

Or the man is a self-claimed prophet.  He tries to persuade people how bad video games are.  He gives a long speach about how evil these thing are, and that the best thing to do is to destroy them.  To illustrate his speach, he takes one of the latest Wii, PS3 and X-box and destroys them with rage.
See you again in church next Sunday.

The barkeep is running books out of the establishment, and this was just a little memo that (a) there is only enough room in this town for one bookie, or (b) someone didn't like the fact that they lost a race on the barkeeps insider tip. Either way, the barkeep calls the bar owner to give him the heads-up on what's going down.

The bar is a base for the mobsters, and the bartender was supposed to get everything ready for a meeting. The man was sent to check on the bartender an hour before the meeting is supposed to start, and seeing that nothing was at all ready, he got really angry and smashed everything. The bartender called the boss to either a) to report the damages and blame everything on the man, or b) to apologize for not setting everything up.

oh yeah Grimbal why do you keep changing your pic?

He doesn't. It changes itself (the source for his image is a script that randomly return one of several images)

I like Grimbal's rotating pic... is it PHP or ??

Also, he seems to add new pics to the stack once in a while...


:)

If you look at the url to the picture, it does have the .php extension. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that it is, you could run cgi-scripts under any extension. But I doubt he'd bother to.

See this thread (http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~wwu/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=riddles_suggestions;action=display;num=1096325830), particularly Grimbal's own post near the bottom.

That is what I thought he was doing...I've played around with sending image files via PHP already...was just wondering if that was the language he was using.

It's funny how one post could entirely change the direction of an entire riddle.

This man was really angry and wanted to destroy a building, he however did not want to go to jail, and he was very rich, so he paid the bartender a million dollars for him to allow him to destroy his bar, the bartender than called the airport to book a flight to the Bahamas.

That thing is a stroke of brilliance.  Completely addicting.
