A co-worker once threw the opening line above into an email, as a kind of “complete-the joke” challenge. I thought that Dopers might appreciate a similar challenge. So:
Complete the joke.
Supply a new opening line for someone else to finish.
My completion of my co-worker’s line was:
[QUOTE=MacSpon]
A Sumerian charioteer, a Babylonian necromancer and an Irishman walk into a bar.
The Sumerian charioteer says, “I’ll have a Guinness.”
The Babylonian necromancer also says, “I’ll have a Guinness.”
The Irishman says, “I’ll have a coke.”
The other two look at him. Then the Sumerian charioteer runs over the Irishman with his chariot, killing him instantly, and the Babylonian necromancer raises him from the dead once more.
“Oh, all right,” says the Irishman. “I’ll have a Guinness then.”

Complete this joke:
The Greek god Zeus, the Egyptian god Horus and the Pope run into each other while out fishing…
The Pope is sitting with his fishing pole, when Horus arrives with a loaf of bread, Zeus who has been fishing for hours, in sudden anger that he hasn’t caught a fish throws a lightening bolt onto the water, where a single fish floats to the surface, horus collects the fish. Looking down at their mediocre meal, the pope remarks “where’s jesus when you need him”
