National Humor Month Funny Short Joke Number Seventeen

In my previous joke, Joke Number Sixteen, although a dog was one of the protagonists, he had a non-speaking part. In this joke, the dog has dialogue. Fair is fair!

Did you hear the one that goes: “A man walks into a bar . . .”

Oh, no, you must be thinking,

Not another man walks into a bar joke.

Why not? It’s the most fun you can have

Without drinking.

Well, almost the most fun.

A man with a dog walks into a bar,

Sits down and puts the dog on a stool.

The bartender says, “Wait a minute,

Serving dogs is against the rules.”

“So pick up your dog right now

And get outta here – take a walk.”

“This is no ordinary dog,” says the man,

My dog, Prince, can actually talk.”

“A dog that can talk?” says the bartender,

“Now that is something I’d like to see.

If your dog really can talk,

I’ll serve you all you can drink … for free.”

The man says to the dog,

“I now want you to speak.

I’ll ask you some questions,

Give me the answers I seek.”

“Prince, what do you see

On the outside of a tree?”

‘Bark!’

‘Right,” says the man, “now don’t stop.

What lies just above a house top?”

’Roof!’

“Correct, Prince, you are the smartest.

Now - name a famous French abstract artist.”

‘Arp!’

“Excellent. Now here is a real test,

Who was the greatest baseball player, better than all the rest?

‘Ruth!’

The bartender is furious.

“Take that dog and get outta here.

That dog is just ordinary,

I should throw you both out on your ear.”

When they are back on the street,

Prince turns to his owner and says,

“The bartender was upset when I said, 'Babe Ruth.’

Do you think I should have said Willie Mays?”
