The best bar joke

The best bar joke

I don't know what this site's all about but I love the "Into the bar" jokes and the most hilarious was the one simply entitled "An Irishman walks out of a bar."

I just couldn't stop laughing and I hold you responsible for any ribcage damage.

How's about this one I just made up:

An alcoholic mummy goes back to a bar he's been in eight times today. Goes up to the bar and says "One for the road."

Bartender says Tut, tut, tut."

Re: The best bar joke

A tourist walks into a pub in Galway and reads a sign that hangs over the bar.

Free Guinness All Night For The Person Who Can Pass Our Test!

So the tourist asks the barkeep what the test is. The barkeep replies "Well, first you have to drink this whole gallon of poteen with naga peppers soaking in the bottom, the whole thing at once and you can't make a face while doing it. Second, there's a brown bear out back with a sore tooth...you have to remove it with your bare hands. Third, there's a woman upstairs who's never had an orgasm. You gotta make things right for her."

The tourist looks incredulous and says, "As much as I would love free Guinness, I won't do it. You have to be nuts to drink a gallon of peppered poteen, and then it just gets crazier from there. Just sell me a shot of Jamesons."

The hours pass and the tourist downs shot after shot, growing more self assured and stupefied all the while. Finally, he asks the barkeep, "Wherezz zzat poteen?"

The tourist grabs the gallon of poteen with both hands, and downs it with a big slurp and tears streaming down his face. Then he staggers out back and soon all the people inside hear a horrible ruckus, roaring, crashing about, and screaming, then silence.

The man staggers back into the bar, his shirt ripped and big bleeding scratches all over his body. He finds the barkeep and asks, "Now wherezz zzat woman with the sore tooth?"

Re: The best bar joke

A smartly dressed man in a suit walks into a bar and asks for a pint and a nip. He downs the pint in one then takes the nip and pours it into his top pocket, then asks for the same again. Downs the pint in one again and, again, pours the nip into his top pocket.

After ten pints and ten nips in the pocket the fella's fair legless and the barman asks him to leave. So the fella starts getting aggressive, rolls his sleeves up and calls to the barman, "Right ... You ... Outside Now".

And a wee mouse pops his head out of the fella's top pocket and shouts, "Aye ... And Bring Your F*ckin' Cat."

Re: The best bar joke

llig - love the mouse one. brilliant.

Here's mine.

A Irishman, transplanted to Boston, goes into a bar and orders and quickly downs three stouts. This goes on for several days in a row.

Finally the barman asks, "Why three at a time?"

"Well", the Irishman explains, "when me and me two brothers left the old country, we vowed we'd have a drink for each other every day. So, one's for me, and the others are in honor of me two brothers."

This went on every day for several months.

One day, the Irishman comes in and orders and downs only two pints. This went on for a while, until finally, his mates, saddened by the obvious loss of one of the brothers, gathered round him and said, "Dear friend, we are so sorry for your loss. How can we help?"

"Oh, nobody died," says he. "I quit drinking."

Re: The best bar joke

A man's fiancee had a very attractive and sexy younger sister who dressed very provocatively. As the wedding got closer, the sister's behavior got more suggestive until one day, when they happened to be alone in the house. The sister said "tomorrow is the wedding and this will be your last chance. It's only us in the house and I'm going upstairs..."

The man ran straight outdoors to his car as fast as possible.

His fiancee's entire family was waiting for him at this car, saying "you passed our test! You are a faithful man. Welcome to our family"

Moral- always keep your condoms in your car.

Re: The best bar joke

An Indian walks into a bar with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He says to the barman, "Me want coffee".

The barman says, "Sure chief, coming right up". He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee, and the Indian drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket of manure, throws it into the air, blasts it with the shotgun, then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the barman, "Me want coffee". The barman says "Whoa, Tonto. We're still cleaning up your mess from the last time you were here. What the heck was that all about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Me in training for executive management job. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the sh*t, and disappear for the rest of the day."

Re: The best bar joke

A cowboy rides into town and goes into the roughest, toughest saloon and orders a whisky at the bar. The drinkers are all arguing about their various feats of bravery, laying bets and generally a-whooping and a-hollerin' . One of them slaps the cowboy on the back and asks him what he can do to show how tough he is. He looks around him and sees in the middle of the floor the spittoon, unemptied since it was last knocked over in a fight, and he said: I'll drink some of that. So he grabs it and starts to drink, draining it without stopping. There's a hush in the bar - everyone's astonished. The other guy says, well, you've proved your point but you didn't need to drink it all. So the cowboy replied: I tried to stop, but it was all in one lump.

Re: The best bar joke

A new barman has just started work in a wild west saloon. Everything's going well - booze aplenty, piano player keeping the punters happy and the upstairs rooms are doing a great trade.
Then one afternoon a local runs in and shouts "Quick, get outta here! Big Jake's a-coming!!"
Immediately there's a stampede to get out of the bar, girls are screaming, the place is deserted within moments.
The new barman is still behind the bar, not sure what to do, when suddenly a huge guy, 7'2", built like a tank strides into the bar and, with a mean expression, says "Gimme a whiskey".
He knocks it back in one and says "Gimme another one". Again he drains it in one gulp.
By now the barman is quaking in his boots and mumbles, "Can I get you another drink sir?"

The man drawls in reply: "Nah, can't stop. Big Jake's a-coming".

Re: The best bar joke

Hmmm, I wasn't quite aware of the racist element in this joke - maybe because native Americans were never on our list for persecution. Now that I think of it, I don't enjoy jokes about Russians or Czechs. Let me rephrase then:

A certain unspecified individual walks into a bar with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He says to the barman, "Can I get a coffee, please".

The barman says, "Sure, sir, coming right up". He gets the individual a tall mug of coffee, and the man drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket of manure, throws it into the air, blasts it with the shotgun, then just walks out.

The next morning the aforesaid gentleman returns. He has his shotgun in one hand and a bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the barman, "I would like a coffee". The barman says "Dear Sir, we're still cleaning up your mess from the last time you were here. What the heck was that all about, anyway?"

The patron smiles and says, "I'm currently training for an executive management job. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the sh*t, and disappear for the rest of the day."

Re: The best bar joke

A young man walks into a bar and sits down. The bartender says "how would you like a drink, sir?"

The young man says "I didn't ask for one, but lovely of you to offer. A whiskey sounds nice."

The bartender serves the drink, which the young man consumes in one gulp, and says "that'll be $4.50."

The young man says "but you offered me a drink, and didn't say anything about payment. I even made it clear that I didn't ask for one. Doesn't that make it a free drink?"

The bartender says "come on buddy. Pay up."

The young man says "seriously. I'm a law student, and the way our conversation went, it's reasonable for me to assume that you were offering a free drink. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but I don't have the $4.50."

The bartender says "okay, you smart-ass law student. I see your game. Get out of my bar and don't come back."

A few months later, the same young man comes into the bar. The bartender recognizes the young man and immediately says "I thought I told you not to come back to my bar. I'm not serving you. Get out."

The young man says "I'm sorry, sir, but I don't recall ever having been here before."

The bartender says "Yeah, right, buddy. I remember you. You're not tricking me into any free drinks this time, just get out.

The young man says "Really, sir. I really don't recall ever having stepped foot in here or even having driven by the place."

The bartender scratches his head and says "well, then, you must have a double."

The young man responds "thank you, make that whiskey, please."

Guy walks into a bar in Glasgow - he's got a chihuahua on a leash. Goes up to the barman, and tries to order a pint, but the barman says, "Sorry sir, we don't allow dogs in the bar, but there is a rail outside that you can tie your dog to. It'll be OK".
"Fine", says the guy, goes out and ties up the dog, comes back in and orders a pint.
He finishes his pint, and goes back outside to get the chihuahua. Two minutes later he comes back in to the bar and shouts out "Who here owns the rottweiler that's tied up outside ?". A bloke at the bar turns round and says, "He's mine. Why ? What's wrong ?"
The guy says, "It's deid".
"What d'ye mean, it's deid - what happened to it ?"
"My chihuahua killed it".

Totally amazed another patron dashes home and returns with a 2 row box.The dog plays a set of reels on it. Further patrons rush out and return with a motley selection of various musical instruments .The dog effortlessly plays them all until a guy proffers a set of bagpipes . The dog struggles with the set of bagpipes for a half an hour and then walks into the corner , curls up and starts to lick its balls. When the owner brings the dog home later that night he asks it angrily "Why the hell didn't you play that yoke ? , you let me down badly!" The dog looks up and says "Play it ? PLAY IT? I was trying to get the f**K**G knickers off it !"

Re: The best bar joke

There was one posted in a thread here a while ago and at least it had a music theme. I'll try not to make too great a hash of it (and apologies to the original poster):

There's a session in full swing and there are 5 strummers, 6 bodhranistas, 7 spoon-players and 8 susato-wielders all giving it some, so Pat, Mike and Kevin go outside for a smoke. They're standing there, sharing thoughts of old times when a leprechaun appears and grants them three wishes, one each. So Pat says, I wish I was back in Galway with my old friends, having a couple of drinks and playing a few tunes. So his wish is granted, and in a puff of smoke, he's gone. Then it's Mike's turn, and he says, I wish I was back in County Clare, having a drink and playing a few tunes, and in a flash, he's gone too! So then it's Kevin's turn, and he has a ponder, and then says, I'm feeling lonely now Pat and Mike have gone. I wish they were back again.

"Here's to spending the rest of me life, between the legs of me darlin' wife!"

And with that, Paddy was crowned the winner of the night's toasting contest at the pub.

That evening, quite boastfu,l he bragged to his wife he had won the contest and several free pints afterwards.

"What did you say to win it? his wife asked.

"Em," Paddy stammered, "Here's to spending the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Och, isn't that lovely!" Paddy's wife beamed.

The next day, one of Paddy's bar-mates saw Paddy's wife at the bus stop.

"Yer husband won with quite a toast last night!" The man grinned lustily

"Aye - I couldn't believe it meself!" she began, "He's only been down there twice in the past year, and the last time I practically had to pull his ears to make him come..."

Re: The best bar joke

Okay. Guy comes in and sits at the bar, then helps a one foot tall, tuxedo'd little man up onto the stool next to him. After they have a drink the tiny man climbs up onto the bar top, runs the length of it, clambers down to the floor then heads over to the piano, which he begins to play brilliantly.

Bartender sidles over to the guy at the bar, nods toward the little man and asks, so what’s his story?

Well, the guy at the bar says, last night I leave a bar after I have a few too many and I stumble into an alley where I find a magic lantern. I rub it and the genie comes out saying he’ll grant me three wishes. First I ask for a million bucks, but I was sloshed and slurry, so suddenly a million ducks are quacking overhead instead. Then I asked for the biggest house in town, but I was sloshed and slurry, so next thing a huge Clydesdale is nuzzling the top of my head.

Bartender stops the guy and says, Let me guess. You didn’t actually ask for a twelve inch pianist.

there's a variation on that one, PureDrops, where the guys orders a drink and this little foot tall man jumps out and kicks it over. So the man orders another and the little fellow kicks that one over, too

So when we asks for a third one, the bartender says, "Hey buddy, what's with this little guy kicking over your drinks?"

He says "I once ran into a genie and he granted me 3 wishes. I wished for a million dollars, then I wished for a big limosine...but then I screwed up, I asked for a 12 inch pr*ck, and that's him!"

This fella from back east goes into a dusty old bar in the American west. He walks in and sees nothing but men and sheep. Men talking to sheep, men buying sheep drinks, men dancing with sheep...so he asks the bartender, "excuse me, but I'm from out of town, what's with all these sheep?"

The bartender says, "out here in the west, we found that sheep are better than women in alot of ways"

The fella says, "you know, I left the east and came out west over troubles with a woman. How does a fella go about getting himself a sheep?"

The bartender directs him to this sheep pen on the edge of town, and he goes out there and picks himself out a nice, well built sheep and goes back to the bar.

When he walks in, everyone stops what they are doing and glares angrily at him. He goes over to the bartender and says, "what's wrong? I thought you said it was ok to bring a sheep in here?"

The bartender leans closer and says, "Mister, that's the sheriff's girl!"

Re: The best bar joke

A well-dressed businessman walks into a tough bar and orders a martini. The bartender whispers to him that he’s going to get beat up by the group of bikers drinking at the other end of the bar if he stays long. While drinking his martini, the businessman begins to talk into his right hand. The bartender asks him what he’s doing, and he says, “I’ve had a cell phone implanted in my hand.” “Christ,” says the bartender, “cut it out. These guys are absolutely going to kill you if they see that crap.” While drinking another martini, the businessman begins staring closely at his left palm. The bartender again asks him what he’s doing, and he replies, “I’ve got a screen in my hand that shows the latest market reports, see.” “Good Lord, stop it!” cries the barman. “You’re a dead man if those bikers see that.” The man excuses himself to use the facilities, and the bartender becomes concerned when he hasn’t come back in fifteen minutes. He goes into the men’s room to check on the businessman, and is shocked to see him up against the wall, pants around his ankles, with a roll of toilet paper shoved up his arse. “Oh hell, man, I told you they’d mess you up! Why didn’t you listen to me?” The businessman replied: “It’s okay, I’m just receiving a fax.”

Re: The best bar joke

Old Blue was a good dog who lived at the pub on the corner. He was very popular with all the regulars, always greeting them as they entered and escorting them to their favourite stool or table then quietly laying in his favourite corner until it
was time to bid farewell to everybody.

After a long and happy life Old Blue passed away, much to the sadness of the publican and the clientele. They had a bit of a discussion concerning the most appropriate way to remember such a wonderful dog and decided that they would keep his tail and hang it on the wall above Blue's favourite resting place.

Old Blue made it as far as The Pearly Gates and met Saint Peter. "Ah Blue," the Saint greeted him, "We've been expecting you but where is your tail? I'm very sorry but you're not allowed into Heaven unless you're physically intact." Blue explained where his tail had gone but Saint Peter was adamant. "Sorry Blue, you'll have to go back and get it." he instructed.

So Old Blue went back down to the pub and, considerate dog that he was, waited outside until after closing time rather than risk scaring the drinkers. When the last one had left he slipped inside and found his former master who was, as you would expect, very surprised but none-the-less very pleased to see the faithful dog.
"What are you doing here?" he asked whereupon Blue told him what Saint Peter had said and asked for his tail back.
The Publican replied. "I would love to help you of course Blue, but I can't. You know I would loose my licence if I was caught re-tailing spirits after hours."

"But he is a service dog, I am blind," replied the man.
"Oh I am so sorry," said the bartender, finding him a seat and giving him a drink.
So the second man puts on his sunglasses and enters the bar.
"Hey," says the bartender, "no dogs allowed."
"But he's a service dog," the man protested, "because I can't see."
"Since when," said the bartender, "is a Chihuahua a service dog?"

Re: The best bar joke

Irishman, Englishman and a German walk up to the bar and each order a pint. Soon as the pints are set down three flies fly in the door and land smack dab in the middle of the pints. German squashes the fly between his fingers, throws it on the floor and downs the pint in one gulp. Englishman picks up the pint, gives it back and says "bartender, please pour me another pint, this one is soiled." Irish man picks up the fly by the wings, holds it over the pint and yells " SPIT IT OUT YA FEKKER !! "

Re: The best bar joke

Seamus is pulling pints as he always does.

A tour bus pulls up outside, and an American wanders in with a cowboy hat on.

"Gimme a beer!" he shouts.

Seamus pours him a pint of plain.

The American hollers: "No, I want a real beer, gimme a Bud!"

"We have no Budweiser" says Seamus "Just Irish beer."

"Wut?" hollers the Yank, incredulously. "Well then, gimme a Coors."

Seamus sighs. "I told ya, we have no Coors, only Irish beer."

"WUT?!?" screams the Yank. "Well gimme the closest thing to American beer ya got!"

Seamus picks up an empty pint glass, wanders into the restroom, dips the glass in the bowl, and saunters back.

He slams the glass down on the bar. "Be glad I flushed. Now it's a lite."

(With thanks to Seamus Kennedy.)

Two men were sitting next to each other at a bar.

After a while, one guy looks at the other and says, "I can't help but think, from listening to you, that you're from Ireland."

The other guy responds proudly, "Yes, that I am!"

The first guy says, "So am I! And where abouts from Ireland might you be?"

The other guy answers, "I'm from Dublin, I am."

The first guy responds, "Sure and begora, and so am I! And what street did you live on in Dublin?"

The other guy says, "A lovely little area it was, I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town."

The first guy says, "Faith & it's a small world, so did I! And to what school would you have been going?"

The other guy answers, "Well now, I went to St. Mary's of course."

The first guy gets really excited, and says, "And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?"

The other guy answers, "Well, now, I graduated in 1964."

The first guy exclaims, "The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same bar tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Mary's in 1964 my own self."

About this time, another guy walks into the bar, sits down, and orders a beer.

The bartender walks over shaking his head & mutters, "It's going to be a long night tonight, the Murphy twins are drunk again."

Re: The best bar joke

A duck walked into a pub and ordered a pork pie and half a pint. Naturally the publican was somewhat taken aback and said "You're a duck. You can talk."
"That's right" the duck replied, "now can I have my lunch?"
The next day the duck returned for lunch so the publican asked where he was from.
"I work on the building site just across the road." he replied.
The lunch time visits became routine.

The following a week a circus arrived in town and after setting up, the performers came to the pub for a few beers. The publican got talking with the circus manager and told him about the duck. The manager was very excited, saying that he thought they would be able to use him so the publican promised to ask the duck if he was interested.

Next day the publican told the duck "The circus down the road is very interested in you and would like to offer you a job."
"Hmmm," said the duck, "the circus. That's the place with the animals and the big tents isn't it?"
"That's right." the publican replied
"And they want to offer me a job?"
"Yes."
"Why?" the duck enquired "what do they want a bricklayer for?"

Re: The best bar joke

not a bar joke but neither are some others here:

Paddy is passing by Mick's hay shed one day when through a gap in the door he sees Mick doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of his old red Massey Ferguson.


Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette and gently slides off first to the right, then to the left.



He then hunches his shoulders forward and in a classic striptease move, lets his braces fall down
from his shoulders to dangle by his hips over his corduroy trousers.


Grabbing both sides of his checked shirt, he rips it apart to reveal his tea stained vest underneath and
with a final flourish he hurls his cap on to a pile of hay.

"What on earth are you doing, Mick?" says Paddy.
"Jeez Paddy, ye frightened the livin bejasus out of me!" says an obviously embarrassed Mick.

"But me and the Missus been having some trouble lately in the bedroom department and the therapist suggested I do
something sexy to a tractor! "

Re: The best bar joke

A customer who has too much to drink gets up from his barstool to go to the men's room.
A few seconds after the door shuts behind him, this terrible scream comes from the men's room.
Everybody in the bar looks in that direction but no one says anything.
A minute or two later, another equally horrendous and terrible scream comes from inside the men's room.
This is too much for the bartender who tells the man to quit screaming because he is scaring the other customers in the bar.
From inside the men's room, the customer says, "I can't help it. Everytime I try to flush the toilet, something comes up and squeezes my b***s."
When the bartender hears this, he walks over to the men's room and opens the door to look in. The bartender says to the customer, "You idiot! You're sitting on the mop bucket!"

'A man walks into a bar with a 'reasonably small crocodile'

Well, a man walked into a bar on the Falls Road with an extremely large crocodile under his arm. The barman took no notice, as they generally do in bars on the Falls Road, and continued to wipe the bar's surface with something that might have been once been a rag, but for the odd shimmer of red, white and blue appearing occasionally.

"Excuse me," said the customer, "but do you serve Brits?"

The barman's eyes narrowed and he glanced quickly around the hostelry, taking in the only customers in the place, a pair of old geezers checking the form in 'The Sporting Life'.

"Sure," he said eventually, "we serve anybody."

"That's grand," said the customer, "then give me a Guinness and a couple of Brits for the crocodile."

The bartender said, "Yes, but how did the pig get a wooden leg?"

The farmer tells him, "This is a great pig. One time our house caught on fire. This pig managed to get out of his pen and run to the house and pull everybody out. He surely saved the entire family from dying in the fire."

Re: The best bar joke

Clearly for music theory folks this is the worst bar joke of all time:

A C, an E-flat, and a G go into a bar.
The bartender says: "Sorry, but we don't serve minors."
So, the E-flat leaves, and the C and the G have an open fifth between them.
After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished: the G is out flat.
An F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough.
A D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom saying, "Excuse me. I'll just be a second."
An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor.
Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and exclaims: "Get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this bar tonight."
The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back to the bar the next night in a 3-piece suit with nicely shined shoes.
The bartender (who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized) says: "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a major development."
This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and everything else, and stands there au naturel.
Eventually, the C sobers up, and realizes in horror that he's under a rest.
The C is brought to trial, is found guilty of contributing to the diminution of a minor, and is sentenced to 10 years of DS without Coda at an upscale correctional facility.
On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even accidental, and that all accusations to the contrary are bassless.
The bartender decides, however, that since he's only had tenor so patrons, the soprano out in the bathroom, and everything has become alto much treble, he needs a rest - and closes the bar.

Re: The best bar joke

A priest, a preacher and a Rabbi walked into their favourite bar, where they would get together two or three times a week for drinks and to talk shop.

On this particular afternoon, someone made the comment that preaching to people isn't really all that hard. A real challenge would be to preach to a bear.

One thing led to another and they decided to do an experiment. They would all go out into the woods, find a bear, preach to it, and attempt to convert it.

Seven days later, they're all together to discuss the experience.

Father Flannery, who has his arm in a sling, is on crutches, and has various bandages, goes first. "Well," he says, "I went into the woods to find me a bear. And when I found him I began to read to him from the Catechism. Well, that bear wanted nothing to do with me and began to slap me around. So I quickly grabbed my holy water, sprinkled him and, Holy Mary Mother of God, he became as gentle a lamb. The bishop is coming out next week to give him first communion and confirmation."

Reverend Billy Bob spoke next. He was in a wheelchair, with an arm and both legs in casts, and an IV drip. In his best fire and brimstone oratory he claimed, " WELL brothers, you KNOW that we don't sprinkle! I went out and I FOUND me a bear. And then I began to read to my bear from God's HOLY WORD! But that bear wanted nothing to do with me. So I took HOLD of him and we began to wrestle. We wrestled down one hill, UP another and DOWN another until we came to a creek. So I quick DUNKED him and BAPTIZED his hairy soul. And just like you said, he became as gentle as a lamb. We spent the rest of the day praising Jesus."

They both looked down at the rabbi, who was lying in a hospital bed. He was in a body cast and traction with IVs and monitors running in and out of him. He was in bad shape.

The rabbi looks up and says, "Looking back on it, circumcision may not have been the best way to start."

Do you remember Old Blue, the dog who lived in the pub? I told you about him a couple of days ago. Well, he didn't always belong to the publican. Back when he was not much more than a pup he belonged to Bert, a local fisherman.

Every evening Bert would take Blue to the pub and order a pint for himself and a whiskey for Blue. One day Bert fell ill and couldn't go to the pub for over a week but Blue still went along by himself. The publican would give Blue his whiskey and the dog would happily trot home.

When Bert was fit again he resumed his nightly visits, thanked the publican for looking after Blue in his absence, and paid Blue's tab. "I'd like to give you this as a way of saying thank you" Bert told the publican, and placed a large lobster on the bar.

"That's lovely" said the publican, "I'll take that home for dinner"

Rodney says, "Oh, I want them both now. I've got my best buddy in my pocket here." With that he pulls out a little 3-inch man from his pocket.

The bartender says, "Wow! And you mean to say he can drink that much?" "Oh, sure. He can drink it all, and then some," Rodney retorted. So the bartender poured the two shots. Sure enough, the little guy drinks it all up.

"That's amazing," says the bartender. "What else can he do? Can he walk?" Rodney flicks a quarter down to the end of the bar and says, "Hey Al, go get that quarter!" The little guy runs down to the end of the bar, picks up the quarter, and runs back and gives it to Rodney.

Magic Roundabout

Though I always thought Dylan was Dylan Thomas (I'd never heard of Bob)

Steve, I now have this image of you at your local session:

"Did you like Muffin the Mule?"


"Dunno, never tried it..."

In the same vein, the following was overheard at a literary cocktail party:
- Do you like Kipling ?
- I don´t know. I´ve never kippled.

Re: The best bar joke

i liked the Magic Roundabout too and never heard of both Thomas or Bob then

the heady B&W TV days of 'Watch with Mother' springs to mind in which Bill & Ben dominated on many levels

Re: The best bar joke

I didn't like Andy Pandy. I can remember distinctly thinking there was something funny going on betwen Andy and Teddy, and I didn't like it. I think I felt sorry for poor old gooseberry, Looby Loo.

I liked Bill and Ben right enough, though I can remember being scared of the gardener, but my favourite was the Woodentops.

And last but not least, the very biggest spotty dog you ever did see ... Ah, those were the days ...

Re: The best bar joke

For those too young too be part of this 'discussion' or from foreign climes, the BBC ran an ever-repeating cycle of children's TV shows from the early 1950s called 'Watch with Mother' (a sort of adjunct to the radio series 'Listen with Mother').

There were five regular slots:

Mondays - 'Picture Book', featuring Ireland's own Patricia Driscoll (who went on to play Maid Marian in the ITV series 'The Adventures of Robin Hood') - it was a very dull 'make-your-own' precursor to 'Blue Peter';

Tuesdays - 'Andy Pandy', a troilistic affair involving a marionette, a rag doll and a teddy bear who all occupied the same picnic basket;

Wednesdays - 'Flower Pot Men', which featured two barely credible string-puppets made of flower pots and a 'flower' called 'Little Weed'. The 'men' always misbehaved, with the threat of being discovered by the gardener and 'Was it Bill or was it Ben' was usually the closing line.

Thursdays - 'Rag, Tag and Bobtail' in which a hedgehog, mouse and rabbit become embroiled in preposterous tales (it was around this time that I discovered Class A drugs, but they didn't improve the storylines);

and, finally,

Fridays (and best of the lot) - 'The Woodentops' , a family of wooden dolls, augmented by the aforementioned Spotty Dog, Buttercup the Cow and Mrs. (no name ever given) and Sam Scrubbit who all lived (or worked) on a farm.

Personally, I regarded the arrival of 'Tales from the Riverbank' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_the_Riverbank) as akin to Godard's 'A Bout de Souffle' in the Home Counties voiced world of BBC children's television.

"'Was it Bill or was it Ben' was usually the closing line."

Ah yes. The tension of not knowing which one it was! I can't help thinking that this psychological tension-building for kids was a direct precursor to not knowing which shape window it was going to be on Play School, something that grown men would bet on before each show.

Re: The best bar joke

Listen With Mother was on the Home Service at a quarter to two, just before Woman's Hour. It was wonderful, with presenters such as Daphne Oxenford, Dorothy Smith or Julia Lang at the helm, reading the stories, always starting with "Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin!" The nursery rhymes were sung by Eileen Browne and George Dixon (no, not that one) and the introductory theme was the Berceuse from the Dolly Suite by Gabriel Fauré. Eileen did the voice of Jenny in the Woodentops. Good old Beeb!

Re: The best bar joke

I've been in the UK for a bit over four years and am still learning stuff about it.

This past weekend I learned that "spotted dick" is not necessarily what I think it is.

Presumably, Emily, as you live in Scotland, you weren't too perplexed by packets of McVitie's Ginger Nuts?

Re: The best bar joke

There were those who enjoyed paying attention so they knew if it was Bill or Ben watching for the often contrived turn to show the label on the back; there were those felt the stress when they realised they had forgotten that the question would be asked; and there were those who came to realise they couldn't give a monkeys which it was and went forward in life not bothering much about man-made puzzles (and maybe thinking they were a feature of the Home Counties).

Re: The best bar joke

An Amerrican walks into an ancient, filthy and decrepit pub somewhere in Belfast. The pub is full of ancient filthy and decrepit drinkers who sit about and say f**k all for long periods of time.

The newcomer sits down, gets a pint, and is wondering where the legendary Irish craic and wit is, when suddenly one of the sodden up and says "TWENTY FECKING SEVEN!"

With this, the entire bar bursts into raucous laughter, which then dies back down to utter silence.

Near the end of the American's pint, another geezer grabs his cane, stands up, sways, and bellows "FORTY FECKING TWO!" which provokes another pub-wide roar of laughter.

The Yankee asks the bartender what's up, and the bartender says "well now these old blodgers, they've been coming here so long they've heard and told all the jokes a thousand times. They've given each joke a number, see, and so instead of having to work through the entire joke, they just say the number."

The Yankee finishes his pint, stands up, and yells "NINETY-EIGHT!" at the top of his lungs. There is dead silence in the pub. None of the wizened Irish drinkers even looks up.

"Wha?" asks the Yankee to nobody in particular.

Then an old coot pipes up. "There's them that can tell a joke...and them that can't."

Re: The best bar joke

Mahoneys wife has to go out of town for the day on a business trip. The last thing she says to her husband is to not go out to the bar in her absence. As soon as the wife is gone he heads down to Clancys pub.

After spending most of the day there he decides he'd better get back on home. He gets up from the bar takes a few steps and falls flat on his face. Gets up, takes a few more steps and again, falls flat on his face. All the way home for three blocks its up down up down until he finally makes it home just after he gets in the house his wife shows up. She walks in the door just as the phone was ringing. She answers it and hangs up after a short conversations. She looks at Mahoney and says,
"So you went to Clancys pub after all did ya.?"
"Well yes dear,"said Mahoney, "but how did you know? "
"That was the barman on the phone calling to say you left your wheel chair there!"
