Grin and Bear It
At a birthday gathering (it was good size bunch, ~25 people) for a classmate, some of us were telling jokes and this one came up:A bear walks into a bar in Billings, Montana and sits down. He bangs on the bar with his paw and demands a beer. The bartender approaches and says, "We don't serve beer to bears in bars in Billings." The bear, becoming angry, demands again that he be served a beer. The bartender tells him again, more forcefully, "We don't serve beer to belligerent bears in bars in Billings." The bear, very angry now, says, "If you don't serve me a beer, I'm going to eat that lady sitting at the end of the bar." The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings." The bear goes to the end of the bar, and as promised, eats the woman. He comes back to his seat and again demands a beer. The bartender states, "Sorry, we don't serve beer to belligerent, bully bears in bars in Billings that are on drugs." The bear says, "I'm not on drugs." The bartender says, "You are now, that was a Barbitchyouate." While that particular joke isn't the funniest (and a tad on the nerdy side), the whole atmosphere of joking around was cool. Some of my classmates are a real hoot, being quite funny and entertaining. Remember the movie Patch Adams? As future medical practioners, they are just as funny as Robin Williams' character was in that film, except that their humor appeals to adults instead of kids. And they don't go to as far extremes to amuse (I just remember that scene where Robin Williams dresses up like a clown to entertain the pediatric patients and in the process, ends up putting a bedpan on his head.. ultra-nast!)
