View Full Version : Was this joke worth $1???
I got hit up by a panhandler yesterday while I was relaxing with a beer after work at an outdoor cafe. He wanted to trade a joke for a dollar. Was it worth it?
The joke:
A mushroom walks into a bar and asks for a beer.
Bartender says, "I'm sorry, but we don't serve vegetables"
Mushroom says, "but I'm really a fun guy..."

Descartes walks into a bar. The bartender says "Hey, pal... can I get you a beer?" Descartes replies, "I think not." Then he disappears.

A horse walks into a bar with a battery and jumper cables . The Bartender says to him don't you come in here with that long face and try to start something! A string walks into a bar and orders a beer. The Bartender takes one look at him and says ,We don't serve string here Scram!The string leaves and twists and ties himself up and walks back in and orders a beer. The Bartender looks him up and down and says aren't you the string that just left here. The string replies no I'm a frayed Knot!

A guy walks into a pizza place owned by buddist monks. They ask what he wants and he says, make me one with everything.

This thread reminds of something I read in a book once. Some reporter (I forget his name) in the early 1960's wanted to know what it was really like to be black in America. So he used ultra-violet light and burned himself black. Then went from place to place and recorded the way he was treated.
He went into a restaurant somewhere in the south and sat down at a table. The waiter came out and said, "We don't serve nigg*rs." The burnt-black reporter said, "Oh that OK, I don't eat nigg*rs. I'll have the fried chicken."
The guy eventually died of skin cancer. I wish I could remember the name and author of that book. I would love to read it again.

I knew John Howard Griffin - he was a visitor in my home several times. We kept in touch until he died.
The stories he told about the civil rights movement in the 60's would make your hair stand on end.

I think it was "Black like Me" maybe James Baldwin.

A guy walks into a pizza place owned by buddist monks. They ask what he wants and he says, make me one with everything.
So the monk gives him a Sicillian with the works. The guy pays with a $100 bill and the monk pockets it. The guy exclaims, "Hey, where's my change?!?!". to which the monk replies, "Change comes from within"
