The bartender, being mute, showed the man the way to the nearest water saloon (the saloon in the story having a strict alcohol only policy) as efficiently as (s)he could. With the gun, (s)he pointed in the direction of the water saloon, and by cocking the gun (s)he signalled to the guest that he should take the road going by the fenced cocks (roosters) , and not the the bulls. The guest, having received ample information to get his glass of water, thanked and took leave.
The bartender, being on the verge of a mental breakdown, pulled the gun on the guest to signal a disinclination on his/her behalf towards further discussion of the matter at hand. The guest, distressed with the unexpected possibility of being shot in the head instead of having a drink of water, thanked the bartender politely so as not to trigger any violent behavior, and took leave.
A man walked into a bar, and asked the bartender for a drink of
water. The bartender pulled out a gun, pointed it at the man, and cocked
it. The man said “Thank you” and left.
The bartender, quite taken by the attractiveness of the guest and taking advantage of the ambiguous reference that would accompany a description of the events that would transpire, pulled out a gun, aimed it at the guest, and cocked the guest. The guest, being rather sexually liberated himself, did not find this conduct offensive in the least, but rather a welcome change to slow paced dating and endless conversations leading up to no real action. While still a bit thirsty, yet with his deeper, insidious thirst sated, the guest thanked and left.
The bartender, being a chiropractor, pulled a standard size gun to get a reference length so as to calculate where to best apply the force necessary to fix the guest’s back. In analogy with the ambiguous reference interpretation above, the bartender then proceeded to cock the man. The guest, suddenly experiencing no back pain for the first time in years and years, heartily thanked the bartender and took leave, so happy that his crooked back no longer pained him that he forgot about the water.
