Donald Trump just received President Obama’s endorsement…

You’ve just won $5 million dollars…

Don’t move there’s a giant bear standing right behind you…

We all know how each of those statements would end, if we heard them on April 1st, but did you know April Fools’ Day Jokes have a life of their own?

This April Fools’ Day Joke Walks into a Bar and joins a queue at the non-alcoholic mixed-drink center.  He smilies at the lady in front of him, who suddenly looks a little apprehensive.  She finally relaxes when they move forward and she gets her drink without any prank from the little guy behind her.  Thankful that he’s next, the mischief maker steps up to receive his libation, and the bartender apolgizes for the delay.  The little shenanigan just flashes him a big grin and says, “No problem, a good punch line is always worth the wait.”

The idea for a joke can pop into my head at anytime, without warning, and that’s often the way it happens.  It’s even occurred at church, leaving me with a slightly guilty feeling and a hope the pastor doesn’t ask what I liked about the sermon.  “Oh, got a great idea for a joke” just doesn’t seem like the kind of thing a man of God would want to hear.

Last Saturday it happened again.  Ellen and I were attending an event we hoped would help us be better travel agents and the speaker was using acronyms for everything.  We constantly had to ask him what they meant when all of a sudden it hit me, an acronym could walk into a bar.

I’ve got the punch line already, and am working backwards to the start and will plan on posting the FFJ (finished funny joke) here soon.  TAF (tell a friend).

UPDATE – 1/25/2019: It only took me about 6 months to complete the joke but almost 4 years to update this post with a link to This Acronym Walks Into a Bar.
