A man walks into a bar with a zebra and a parrot.

They order round after round. The zebra passes out and falls to the floor. The man picks up his parrot and starts to leave.

The bartender yells, “Hey! You there! You can’t leave that lyin’ on the floor!”

The parrot says, “That ain’t no lion. That’s a zebra.”

Kerry walks into a bar. He says hello to the bartender, sits down, orders a scotch, and starts drinking.

Ten minutes later, a horse walks into the bar, orders a scotch and soda, and sits down next to Kerry.

The horse turns to Kerry and says,

“Hey, fella? Why the long face?”

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman are sitting in a bar in New York reminiscing about home.

“Back in me pub in Glasgow,” brags the Scotsman, “fer every four pints of stout I order, they give me one fer free!”

“In me pub in London,” says the Englishman,”I pay fer two pint’s o’ Guiness and they give me a third one free!”

“That’s nuthin’” says the Irishman, “Im my pub back in Dublin, you walk up to the bar, they give the first pint fer free, the second pint fer free, the third pint fer free — and then they take you upstairs and you have sex for FREE!”

“Is that true?” asks the Scotsman. “Has that really happened to you?”

“Well, no,” says the Irishman, “but it happens to me sister all the time!”

Funny, I was in San Jose once, in a bar. And who walked in but Barack Hussein Obama... With a parrot on his shoulder!

Bartender took one look at ‘em and said:

“where the heck did you get THAT?”
