Wait I’m confused, does that support me or you?
I need a drink
since it was impossible for the first two to answer the question as referring to the group
It was impossible in the affirmitive, but possible in the negative.
L’chaim!
Right, but as far as their assumption in interpreting the bartender’s question, they would certainly assume he would not ask them a question that they could answer only in the negative or with inherent uncertainly, thus eliminating the possibility of answering in the affirmative. And since the likelihood of each indeed wanting a drink was relatively high (being that they walked into a bar) he would be depriving himself of the profit. (Also assuming he had a personal interest in the profit (either as the owner or commission)

Shulem Hirsch is a polite but meticulous chassid living in the Tri-State area. While his new house was being built, he would leave notes for the workmen, politely calling their attention to mistakes or oversights. Two weeks before Shulem Hirsch was to move in, the floors still were not finished, the bathrooms were not tiled, and necessary fixtures were not installed. His wife Ruchel was starting to get concerned that the house would not be completed in time. However, on moving day, Ruchel and Shulem Hirsch found that their house was in perfect working order.
Incredulous, Ruchel searched the house for the note. Posted prominently on the living room wall was a note which read: “After September 30th, all work will be supervised by our twelve children.”

Chaim Yankel says, “Well, there’s one door that leads to the bathroom. There’s a second door that goes into the closet. And there’s a door I haven’t tried, but it has a ‘do not disturb’ sign on it.”
Moishe paid attention closely.

”Roof!” The man turns and smiles at the bartender.
”THAT ain’t talking! Any dog can bark!”
”Okay, Moishe. Tell me — how does sandpaper feel?”
”Ruff!”
”What the heck you tryin’ to pull, mister?” said the bartender.
”Okay, okay,” says the man. “One more question. Okay, Moishe, tell me — who is the greatest ball player who ever lived?”

A traffic cop on patrol one night in Boca Raton Florida, watching a 35-mph zone on the edge of town, suddenly saw a car come blazing by his hideout. Quickly grabbing at his radar gun, he clocked the fast-moving vehicle at 87 mph!
The officer took off after the speeder and soon had the car pulled over on the side of the road. Expecting trouble with such a reckless driver, the patrolman approached cautiously.
To his surprise, the driver of the offending vehicle was a little old Jewish lady, barely tall enough to see over the steering wheel.
“I was just getting her up around 90, I believe, officer,” replied Mrs. Applebaum calmly, peering up at him through her bifocals. “Why, what seems to be the problem?”
Shocked, the officer returned her comment, “What seems to be the problem? Why, this is a 35-mph zone! That’s the problem. Didn’t you see the sign?”
“Oh sure,” Mrs. Applebaum returned, “That’s why I’m driving so fast. I’m just trying to follow its instruction.”
Dumbfounded, the officer was momentarily speechless.
“Just what sign are you talking about, ma’am?” he asked, when he finally recovered.
Smiling up at the officer, Mrs. Applebaum placed a gentle hand on his wrist and said, “Why, the one that said ‘Speed Zone Ahead,’ of course!”

Rachel heard the train stop and Little Moishe said, “All of you sons of guns who want off, get the heck off now, cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of guns who are getting on, get your behinds in the train, ’cause we’re going down the tracks.”
Rachel was shocked. “Moishe! We don’t use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room, and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language.”
Two hours later, Little Moishe came out of the bedroom and resumed playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and Rachel heard Little Moishe say, “All passengers who are disembarking from the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon.” Rachel hears Little Moishe continue, “For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.”
As Rachel began to smile, Little Moishe added, “For those of you who are annoyed about the TWO-HOUR delay, please see the bossy lady in the kitchen.”

Moishe Mandelbaum was fed up with humanity and decided to spend the rest of his life in a monastery. The head of the monastery warned him that he would have to take a vow of silence and live the rest of his life as a scribe, to which Moishe replied, “No problem. Anyway, I’m sick of talking.”
Ten years went by, and the head of the monastery called for Moishe. He told him that he was a model resident and perfect scribe, and that they were very happy to have him. As per their tradition, he was allowed to say two words. Asked if he had anything to say, Moishe nodded and said, “Food cold.”
Moishe was sent on his way. Ten years later, Moishe was brought before the head of the monastery again and once again told how pleased they were with his performance, and that he was again allowed two more words if he so chose. Moishe said, “Bed hard,” and was sent back to work.
Another ten years went by, and again Moishe was called in for an audience, and he was allowed another two words. Moishe nodded and said, “I quit.”
To this, the head of the monastery replied in a disgusted tone, “Doesn’t surprise me. Moishe Mandelbaum, ever since you got here, you’ve done nothing but complain.”
