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."

Toothpicks, They're Not Just For Club Sandwiches Anymore

Remember back in fifth grade when you had to build that bridge, vague geometric shape, outhose, etc. out of toothpicks? The project so fragile if the bus to school took a turn at more than 2 mph, it would crumble to pieces. Go »

East Meets West

So, good friends of ours, Lauren's godparents, invited our family to join them for a birthday dinner at a local Japanese steakhouse, Sakura. I've always wanted to go to one of these but until last night never had the opportunity. The girls are finicky eaters so prospects looked pretty slim. Go »

Where's The Winch?

We took the girls sailing today. Unlike last year, Olivia did not throw a winch handle overboard because of our diligence in preventing it. The sailing is still free because of the heart of the owner who offers this once a month during the summer. Go »

Bingo!

I just came back from a Daddy/Daughter event at Lauren's school. It was a PTA sponsored Bingo night. Lauren and I spent two hours playing Bingo laughing in frustration about coming so close to winning and just hugging and sharing a good time. Go »

How Old Is Too Old For Santa Claus?

My daughter Lauren wrote a letter to Santa in which she asked him for nothing - just a letter to say what a cool guy she thinks he is. It has a few misspellings and a grammar error or two and it's not written with the greatest penmanship. And it's completely adorable. Go »

It's That Time Of Year

Snow time. I don't live in Fargo so I defer to Denise and others for even more horrible snow stories. But the forecast yesterday was for anywhere between 6 and 32 inches of snow depending on a whole bunch of meteorological variables and other mysteries. Go »
