A man sat alone at a bar, staring silently at his drink for over half an hour. A burly man playing pool noticed this odd behavior. Driven to distraction, the burly man walked over, grabbed the drink, and gulped it down. The first man immediately burst into tears.
"Come on, man, I was just joking," said the burly man. "I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."
"No, it's not that," the man at the bar replied. "Today is the worst day of my life. First, I overslept and was late for work. My furious boss fired me. When I went to my car, I found it had been stolen, and the police said they couldn't help. I took a cab home, only to realize I'd left my wallet and credit cards inside. The cab driver just laughed and drove away. When I finally got home, I found my wife in bed with the gardener. I left and came to this bar. Just as I was thinking about ending my life, you showed up and drank my poison!"
