The Monk gives the vendor $20.
Vendor pockets the money.
Monk asks for his change.
“Ah,” says the Vendor, “change comes from within”.

Next day the Monk goes back and orders another hot dog. The vendor gives him a double scoop of vanilla.

Not exactly a joke, but in Catch Me If You Can, Tom Hanks’ character is a very serious, hardworking FBI agent. In a scene where he goes off on a couple wisecracking underlings, one of them asks him why he’s so uptight all the time.
“Would you like to hear me tell a joke?” he asks.
“Yeah, sure, we’d love to hear you tell a joke.”
“Alright. Knock knock.”
“Who’s there?”
“Go fuck yourselves.”
Hanks’ delivery is brilliant – perfect tone, perfect timing. Just brilliant, and he looks so pleased with himself after he’s said it.

It gets even better because later he offers to tell a joke to his boss, and it starts off with “Knock Knock?” I was like – holy shit, he’s going to tell his boss to fuck himself!!

<snip>Not an extremely funny joke, although it’s okay, but more entertaining than most jokes told in a movie, you could cut the tension with a knife.

This made me think of a joke* that Joe Pesci’s character plays on Ray Liotta’s character in Goodfellas. (*At least he thinks it’s funny.)
I was embarrassed from laughing at this joke from Master and Commander because it was such a groaner. Russel Crowe’s delivery, though, sells it. True to his character, he is so very pleased with himself when he delivers the punch line.
Captain Jack:“Do you see those two weevils doctor?”
Dr. Stephen:“I do.”
Captain Jack:“Which would choose?”
Dr. Stephen:“Neither. There is not a scrap a difference between them. They are the same species of curculio.”
Captain Jack:“If you had to choose. If you were forced to make a choice. If there was no other response…”
Dr. Stephen:“Well then if your going to push me, I would choose the right hand weevil. It has significant advantage in both length and breadth.”
Captain Jack:“There! I have you! Your completely dished! Do you not know that in the service, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils!”

I assumed it was the fact that since she was a chick the person giving the free sex was a dude. I could be wrong.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
What makes the joke is that, ostensibly, by telling another guy about the good things the bar offers, he’s recommending it.
But he’s not really telling the guy to go to a bar and have sex with another guy. The kicker is that, while seemingly clueless to the real reason the good things are available at the bar, he clues us in on the fact that it’s his sister, A Female, who gets cheap food, drink and ready sex in the back of bar from guys (interested in getting somethong).

“How many Polacks does it take to screw in a light bulb?”
“I dunno, Glen. One?”
“Naw, it takes three.” Looks puzzled
“No, wait! I told it wrong. Here, I’m starting again. How come it takes so many Polacks to screw in a light bulb?”
“I dunno, Glen. How come?”
“Because they’re so darn stupid!”
