Tavern riddle

[debodun]

Why wouldn't the bartender in the local tavern serve a leg amputee? (hint: my answer is NOT "He didn't have a leg to stand on.")

 

[Kaila]

the bartender was not very tender, after all.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the bartender wanted to have a leg-up on the amputee?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the bartender wanted to have a leg-up on everyone he/she served?

 

[debodun]

You're warm, Marg.

 

[Aunt Marg]

This one's a tough one, Deb...

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the leg amputee couldn't have a leg-up on things?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the bartender felt he/she would leg-behind (lag-behind) in their serving?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the bartender couldn't leg-go (let go) of his/her ego?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Darn it all anyway... have two appointments and a bunch of running around to do this morning, so have to leave!

Hopefully this is still going when I get back!

Be home again in a couple of hours.

 

[debodun]

Keep trying.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I'm back!

Darned riddle had my brain going the whole time I was gone!

 

[MarciKS]

Because he had his leg up on the counter? LOL

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the bartender didn't want to have a leg-up on the amputee?

 

[In The Sticks]

Something about a leg to stand on?

Was it a female amputee? Eileen? Irene?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because the amputee didn't need a leg?

 

[In The Sticks]

Why serve him something with hops? It would be cruel. A pub crawl might be more in order.

 

[debodun]

Don't focus on the legs and try again.

 

[MarciKS]

Cause the amputee told him to hop to it?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Because all the bartender had to serve the amputee was hops?

 

[debodun]

Nothing to do with hopping or hops. Try again.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Boy, this is a tough one...

 

[MarciKS]

*throws in the towel*

 

[debodun]

You will groan when I tell and say "Why didn't I think of that!"

 

[PopsnTuff]

Cuz he was already a bootlegger?

No wait.....he/she was underage!
