A man traveling across the country stops in a small town for some refreshment. He enters the local bar to find it deserted except for the bartender. The tables are clean and tidy and the each has a basket of nuts at the center.

The man orders a drink and sits quietly at one of the tables. After a few moments he hears a voice say, "Nice tie."

He looks about, but no one is in sight.

A couple of moments later he hears another voice say, "Great haircut."

He looks about, but no one is around.

A moment later he hears another voice say, "Love the shirt."

Puzzled he approaches the bartender and asks about the voices.

The bartender says, "Oh that. It's the nuts. They are complimentary!"
