I think the joke is that the bar is clearly a black hole.

A way to take care of some of the questions raised would be to make it into a riddle.

“If an infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar and the first one drinks a beer. The second drinks half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer, and so on……

How many beers did the bartender pour?

I think it’s an amusing math joke but why the bartender calls them all idiots is rather arbitrary. Obviously they know that 2 beers is the result of how much beer will be poured but the bartender makes it sound as if they didn’t know that…

if the bartender knew the branch of statistics, then he would know that previous observations hold no bearing on immediate future observations and thus should not jump to such a hasty conclusion

Inconsiderate bartender! Maybe they didn’t want to share germs…if they are that much of geeks they problem don’t want to catch anything lol. Plus, they might want separate tabs…if I were the bartender I would charge them like a psychologists…charge them each for a full beer lol.

You’re all mathematicians and should keep away from bars.

I tried this as a warm up question to some students, and one, who has a reputation for being shall be say not the brightest, gave the best answer I’ve heard yet…..

“well, they would need an infinity of beer”

Me patiently explaining “No, you see you’ll never fill the second pint…”

“Oh, I get that, BUT THEY NEED A GLASS EACH; DON’T THEY?”

Shut me right up…..
