Funny how jokes come about. After my wife and I recently bought a bird feeder for our yard, and enjoyed watching the visiting birds, I got the idea that a bird feeder could walk into a bar. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
This bird feeder walks into a bar and asks for a Passenger Pigeon. “Sorry”, the bartender says, “We don’t serve seedy types like you.”
While trying to find out when the ‘walks into a bar’ joke genre began, I discovered that they have a page on Wikipedia. The subject of this type of joke, according to the article, can be a man or woman, a famous person, people of various occupations, animals, and even inanimate objects. We couldn’t agree more which might explain today’s subject.
This celestial body walks into a bar without a penny to his name and orders a pitcher of beer and four different appetizers. The server brings everything ordered and says, “That will be $39 please.” Between bites the planetoid calmly replies, “I don’t have any money.” The bar manager, overhearing their exchange, immediately heads to the table and asks in a loud and angry voice, “If you couldn’t pay, why did you order all this food and beer?” The heavenly sphere, clearly enjoying his food, looks up and says, “I figured after I ate everything you’d be happy and then it wouldn’t make any difference that I couldn’t pay.” The bar manager, clearly bewildered, shakes his head and says, “And why in the world would you think that” The glowing orb looked up and said, “Well, doesn’t everyone enjoy seeing a full moon?”

A friend of mine at work was the first to take the W.I.A.B. challenge, which you’re welcome to read more about, thinking I couldn’t write a joke about President Obama walking into a bar. After several weeks of near catastrophic breakdowns and comic blocks (don’t believe much of that), the following came forth from somewhere in my mind.
President Obama walks into a bar and drops heavily onto an empty bar stool between four men, all head down, engrossed in their drink of choice. The man on his right looks up slightly from his drink and whispers, “Had a tough day Mr. President?” The president looks over at his bar companion and is stunned to see George H. W. Bush. He’s even more astonished to see who’s sitting next to the former president; Bill Clinton.
Suddenly, President Obama feels a tap on his left shoulder and turning, looks into the eyes of Jimmy Carter. Before the flabbergasted president has a chance to say hello, the man next to former President Carter, George H. Bush, pokes his head up and smiles at everyone.
After a collective gasp, they suddenly begin talking and sharing White House stories like best friends. The bartender, a former card dealer in Vegas, turns to a co-worker and quips, “I think we just got dealt a political full house.”
