try and guess the riddle

A guy walks into a bar with the hic- ups (dids i spell that right?) and asks the bar tender to give him some water. but the bar person pulls a gun out on him instead! then the man walks out saying thank you.... why did he say thank you?

GUESS!

 

This is probably a stupid riddle where there's a story behind it and has NOTHING to do with what you wrote down.
Anyways, I dunno, maybe there in a criminal bar (liek Shrek 2....lul)?
-shrug-

 

no actually it's just a plain, simple, and easy question... no story behind it i swear! then it would be pointless. it's a riddle that messes with your mind! once i give out the answer you'll understand.

 

The bartender pulled a gun on him in order to scare the hiccups away, and it worked. >.>

 

yay... you got it.
told you it was easy.

 

I got it within a minute of reading the riddle. xD You just have to remember that he had the hiccups...
