A man sits alone at a bar drinking a pint of ale. He seems mildly interested in a plate of fish chips in front of him and a football match on the TV. A bartender stands aways down the bar, watching his patron but mostly the game.
"Oy, what are you doing here," says a local man barging into the bar. Bartender and patron both turn from the TV and look at the new arrival.
"Well it's my bar innit'?" says the bartender, a mildly irked expression on his face.
"Sod off, you know exactly who I'm talking to," replies the local. The man at the bar furrows his eyebrows, tilts his head, and points to himself. "Yes you, you walking piece of shite!" At this point the local is almost frothing at the mouth, wagging his finger emphatically at the man at the bar. "What do you think you're doin'?" repeats the local.
"Oh" replies the man at the bar in a decidedly American accent. "I'm here to drink your beer, steal your women, and take your job."
With that the American finishes his pint with one gulp and smashes it in the locals face. The local, unprepared for such a response, goes down; knocked out cold. The American pauses to examine his handiwork for a moment, then throws some bills onto the bar, "For your troubles;" then stepping over the man walks out of the bar.
