Best joke yet.

[unhingedlizard]

Having felt a need to explain a groaner like that is almost worthy of negative rep. Almost...

Ah, but it was my joke in the first place so it doesnt count.

A perch is what a parrot sits on, a perch is also a type of fish.

Think about it literally - what if you were actually in a real bar on Lambton Quay and a talking baby penguin comes in.

I think the humour is in the anticipation of a punchline that ignores the absurdity of the situtation as most jokes do, but then the surprise of the inane reaction of the barman asking the stupidest question he could have.
Or not...maybe someone else can explain it better. All I know is I found it very funny.

Hmm, it doesn't seem so funny when you explain it.

Answer below - don't look if you don't want it explained.

















he looks like a penguin

I think the humour is in the anticipation of a punchline that ignores the absurdity of the situtation as most jokes do,

Like the old one about the guy who goes into a bar and is visibly surprised to see a horse serving at the bar.

"What's the matter?" Asks the horse, "you think it's unusual that a horse would be serving at a bar?"

"Sorry," says the bloke, "it's just that I didn't realise the cow had sold the place."

Or the horse that walked into the bar, and the barman asks "Why the long face?"

Polar bear walks into a bar and says "I'll have a gin and............................................... .................................................. ......................tonic, please."

The bartender says "Sure. Why the big pause?"

"They help me walk on the snow."

Two racehorses sitting in a bar after a meeting.
One says "Did you see Hamill's Luck in the third? He was running about fifth coming into the straight, just took off and flew past the rest of the field. Absolutely amazing!"
The other says "Yeah, I spoke to him later and he reckons he just got this incredible shot of adrenaline from nowhere and can hardly remember the end of the race at all"
A greyhound sitting at the next table piped up and said "Yes, it isn't as uncommon a phenomenon as you might expect, apparently it comes from some primal subconscious reaction to a competitive situation..."

The horses looked at each with a surprised look at one said "Bugger me, a talking dog!"
