SMOKES, NO, BUT HARD DRUGS, YES

AFTER a hard day's work I decided to go to the local tavern for a relaxing
drink. I sat at the bar, and asked the barmaid for a drink and an ash tray.
She replied, "I can give you the drink but you can't have the ash tray
because the law say's you can't smoke within 1.5m of the bar."

I wandered off to the toilet, and while I was in there I noticed a plastic
container bolted to the wall.

On my return to the bar I asked the barmaid what the container was for.

She replied, "By law, we have to put these in our toilets for drug users,
who use our toilets to shoot up their illegal drugs."

Can I please have my ash tray back?
