I asked if the man was naked, and you said no.  :)

Ok, I love those kind of 'lateral' puzzles.  This one is a 'chestnut', but still fun if you haven't heard it.

A man walked into a bar and asked for a drink.  The bartender stared at him for a moment, pulled out a gun, and pointed it at the man.  The man looked at the bartender for a moment, said thank you, and walked out.

What just happened?

The man was an alcoholic and knew that he could not resist the addiction, so he asked the bartender to force him away from the only place he could get alcohol.

It was a small town, SE.

Firemeboy, are we allowed to ask questions on this one?

Did the gun shoot bullets?
Did the bartender and the man know each other previously?
Was the bar a speakeasy?

 Yes, it was a real gun, but the bartender didn't actually shoot the man.

The man who walked into the bar had the hiccups and he wasn't expecting the gun, so it scared his hiccups away, thus he left because he now didn't need a drink.

Yep.

The man walked into the bar and asked for a glass of water.  The bartender noticed the man had hiccups, and decided to help him by scaring him with the gun.  The man was indeed frightened, and then realized that his hiccups were gone.  He thanked the bartender and left.

I take it you've heard that one before?  :)
