"artie Chokes"

A guy named Artie walks into a bar...
There he sees three men from afar...
He is out of money, so his mind starts to think...
I will rob each one near the bathroom sink...
The first comes in and Artie grabs him and chokes him for a quarter...
The second walks in and Artie does the same while two coins
fall near the water....
In comes the third and Artie makes his stand, and chokes him to the
floor as another coin falls by his collar...
Artie sits in disgust as he see's all this work for just four quarters...
The next day the paper read "Artie chokes three for a dollar"...
