French Logic

[marval]

One night in Paris, an American tourist dropped into a side street
cafe late at night and, after a couple of drinks, realised he
was the last person in the bar except for a man sleeping at one
of the tables.

The man called the proprietor over and asked for his bill.

"Would monsieur care for another drink?" asked the Frenchman.

"No thanks, I imagine you want to close up. Why don't you send
that other man home?"

"Well, I should," said the other. Then, with Gallic logic, he
added.

"But each time I wake him up he asks for the bill and pays
it again."
