Alright listen up, you smooth-brain. Romans used Roman numerals, ya dig? So when this dude holds up two fingers, he ain't askin' for two beers like some kinda idiot. He's sayin' "V," which is five in Roman numerals! It's funny because you'd think he wants two beers, but BAM, switcheroo, it's five! And, by the way, only a real loser wouldn't know that.

Then the bartender replies, and says "Let me see you order nine beers, instead".

Romans actually drank wine instead of beer.
