Psychiatrists vs. Bartenders

Ever since I was a child, I've always had a fear of someone under  my bed at night. So I went to a shrink and told him, 'I've got  problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it.  I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.'

 'Just put yourself in my hands for one year,' said the shrink. 'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'

 'How much do you charge?' 'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor. 'I'll sleep on it,' I said.

Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.

'Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that mo ney that I went and bought me a new pickup!'

'Is that so!' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I  ask, did a bartender cure you?'

'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!!!"

It seems there's no shortage of cool and amazing apps for Apple's iPhone.  I found one that is perfect for your bar customers, 'Barguments.'

Barguments is an iPhone app that asks a series of 'open-ended' questions.  It's designed to spark lively discussions while libations are enjoyed.

Sample question: 'Who are the best five-guitarists of all-time?'

If you've got an iPhone, hit the iTunes store and download, 'Barguments,' today!
