    1. I like!! Hadn’t heard that one! 🙂 I have 2 or 3 other favorites. ONE of them: Descarte walks into a bar. Bartender asks, “didn’t I kick you out of here yesterday?” Decartes says “I think NOT!!” . . . and disappears!

      1. How about this one…
        A termite walks into a bar and asks “Where’s the bar tender?”. OR A horse walks into a bar and the barkeep asks “Why the long face?”

        1. Like them both, Frank!! The horse one is another of my favorites, along with the bear that orders “a scotch . . . . and soda”. Bartender: Why the pause? 🙂
