A man and his wife had a small café near the station. The café often stayed open until after midnight because people came to eat and drink there while they were waiting for trains.

It was midnight one day, and all the people left the café except one man. That man was not eating, and he was not drinking. He was sleeping. The owner of the café and his wife were very tired. The wife looked at the man several times, but he still was sleeping. When it was three o'clock in the morning, the wife came up to her husband and said, "You have woken this man six times now, Robert, but he didn't leave. Why haven't you sent him away? It's very late."

"Oh, no. I don't want to send him away," answered her husband with a smile. "You see, every time I wake him up, he asks for the bill, and when I bring it to him, he pays it. Then he goes to sleep again."

(Reading the joke...)

A man and his wife owned a small café near the station that usually stayed open late into the night as people waited for trains, eating and drinking.

One midnight, everyone had left except for one man who wasn't eating or drinking; he was sound asleep. The café owner and his wife were exhausted. The wife kept eyeing the sleeping man, but he remained in slumber. At three in the morning, the wife approached her husband, saying, "Robert, you've woken that man up six times already, and he's still here. Why haven't you asked him to leave? It's very late."

"Oh, no. I don't want to disturb him," replied her husband with a smile. "You see, every time I wake him, he asks for the bill, pays it, and then goes right back to sleep."
