Is it my sense of humor? Or am I just that damn good?
Once a guy ordered a Bud Light Lime and I told him he couldn't have one because he's a man and shouldn't be drinking a Bud Light Lime.
Another time a lady said she'd have a beer and ordered a Michelob Ultra. I asked if she wanted a beer or Mich Ultra. In both cases I was tipped over $30.

He didn't. In fact he drank most of what we had and then left me a huge tip. Even told me I was an asshole. Then his buddy asked if I knew who I looked like. When I said Jerry Seinfeld he laughed hysterically and tipped me huge too.

I could not stand being a bartender because I'd be fall down drunk all the time.

You've got to have a one-of-the-boys attitude to work in a bar as a guy. Girls can get away with any personality and stol bring in tips, as long as they're not fat and lazy. One of my favorite bartenders is a total bitch and scares guys into tipping her well. I love it. She's all tatted up and hot.

I agree that it's all in the delivery. If customers think you're funny and/or friendly, they'll take all kinds of crap from you - especially if you have hooters like Heladric.

Insulting people is a very hit or miss prospect. Sometimes you will make them laugh at themselves and sometimes you will piss them off. Depends on their mood, depends on your delivery, depends on god knows what. Pulling down a few big tips is really little more than anecdotal information.
But if you can routinely get people to laugh at themselves, you're probably on the right track.
Just don't try too hard.
