Michael O'Leary, Ryan Air boss, goes into a pub in Cork and asks for a pint of Guinness.
The barman nods and says, "That will be one euro".
A pleased O'Leary hands over the money and comments, "That's very cheap".
"Yes sir, it is" replies the barman, "however, if you want to drink the Guinness in a glass, you'll have to pay an extra €3".
The Chief Executive scowls but pays up. He takes his drink goes towards a seat.
"Ah, sir, if you want to sit down, you'll first have to sit in this frame," observes the barman.
Unfortunately O'Leary can't squeeze into the frame. "Nobody could fit in that little thing," he complains.
"Then you'll have to pay a surcharge of €5 for your seat, sir", cautions the barman.
"This is ridiculous," cries O'Leary. "I want to see the manager".
"Certainly sir", responds the barman. "Here is his email address or, if you wish, you can contact him between 9 and 9.10 any Monday morning. Calls are free until they are answered. Then there is a talking charge of only 10 cents per second."
A furious O'Leary swears he'll never come into this pub again, to which the barman answers, "That's perfectly OK sir, but remember we're the only pub in Ireland selling pints for one euro!"
