I am banned from telling this joke because I tell it all the time. A polar bear walks into a bar and tells the bartender, “Give me a rum and................................… Coke.” “Why the huge pause?” asks the bartender. “I don’t know,” says the bear. “I’ve always had them.”
This is awesome. It's like the panda joke (eats shoots and leaves) or the horse joke (long face), but I got to hear it for the first time! That's what I love about a great joke: it's a new, unexpected (pleasant) experience. Such things are rare and beautiful once we're out of childhood and most everything is familiar.
Reminds me of this old one :
What's the difference between a cat and a comma?
A cat has its claws at the end of its paws, but the comma has its pause at the end of a clause.
So far, this is the only joke in this thread that made me laugh. I'm adding it to my repertoire. Thanks!
