A Very Thirsty Man

The waiter gives the fellow a tall, well-iced drink, then asks the newcomer what he would like to drink. Thinking the other man's drink may be a specialty of the house, he says, "I'll have a waterloo, too."
The waiter gives him the tall, well-iced drink, and the customer takes a big drink.
"Hey," he says, "this isn't any good. It tastes just like water!"
The man next to him looks at the waiter and says, "Well, it is water. Right, Lou?"
