That is the opening line to a joke with a genre all its own. Here are a dozen I found at various sites around the web.
1. An amnesiac walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "Do I come here often?"

2. A guy with dyslexia walks into a bra.

3. A young Texan walks into a bar and orders a drink. "Got any ID?" asks the bartender. The Texan replies, "About what?"

4. A pair of jumper cables walk into a bar. The bartender says, "You can come in here, but you better not start anything!"

5. A penguin walks into a bar and asks the bartender, "Has my father been in here?" The bartender says, "I don't know. What does he look like?"

6. A termite walks into a bar and asks, "Is the bar tender here?"

7. A cheeseburger walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."

8. A dog with his foot wrapped in a bloody bandage hobbles into a Western saloon. He sidles up to the bar and announces: "I'm lookin' fer the man that shot my paw."

9. A skeleton walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll you have?" The skeleton says, "Give me a beer, and a mop."

10. A polar bear, a giraffe and a penguin walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"

11. A guy walks into a bar in Cork, in Ireland, and asks the barman: "What's the quickest way to get to Dublin?" "Are you walking or driving?" asks the barman. "Driving," says the man. "That's the quickest way," says the barman.

12. René Descartes is in a bar at closing time. The bartender asks him if he'd like another drink. Descartes says, "I think not," and he disappears.

Not really. This is the stuff that entertains me. Seeing the silly stuff on the web - the number of sites that contain stupid and/or amusing content. On occasion, amusing only to me, perhaps. Not trying to act offended, really, just admitting that internet crap like this amuses the hell out of me.

Naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm, and a two-foot salami under the other. The bartender says, I guess you won't be needing a drink. Naked lady says...

I've been waiting 22 years to hear the punchline this one.

A Grasshopper walks into a bar and orders a drink. Bartender says, "You know there's a drink named after you, huh?"

Grasshopper says, "They named a drink "Steve"?

Heheh... good one, considering I don't usually find Family Guy all that funny.

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel attached to his crotch.

Bewildered, the bartender says "Pardon me, cap'n, but did you know that you've got your ships wheel stuck to your crotch??"

"Aaarrr! ", the pirate replies. "It's drivin' me nuts."

Dumb Criminals And Other Court Type Stuff

Small potpourri of MENSA reject criminals, frivolous lawsuits and just dumb laws. Cupcake Burglar; Cheeseburger Lawsuit; Drunken Sock Eater; Saggy Trouser Law; and Goofy Streaker. The most shocking story to me is this last one in which a victimized Kirsten Dunst had her room burgled and items stolen including a $13,000 handbag. Go »

Unspoken Cultural Differences

Various hand gestures mean different things, depending on where in the world you happen to be. This guide to unspoken communication may be invaluable to those globetrotters out there. Go »

Givin' It Up To The Man

There seems to be several different meanings to that phrase, these days especially. Meaning 1) A teenage girl in Germany sold her virginity online to an Italian businessman for $18000. She had hoped to raise $100K for schooling, I think. Go »

Christmas Post #14: Scared Of Santa

Pretty funny site devoted to pictures of children unhappy with being seated next to Santa. The hilarious aspect for me are the expressions on the faces of the Santas who are obviously thinking of everywhere else they'd rather be than here with this screaming little turd-dropper in their lap. Poor kids. Go »

Dear Miriam...

Oh, thank you Miriam, that's great advice. BTW this letter is indeed a spoof of the "Dear Miriam" column in The Daily Mirror that appeared in the satirical publication Viz. Pretty damn funny, though. Go »

And No Need for Anaesthesia

Recent conversation with Brenda: me: I've decided that I'm not going to play that "got your nose" game with our grandkids. Brenda: Oh, really? me: Yeah, I'm going to play "got your appendix" instead. Go »
