A string walks into a bar. The bartender says, “We don’t serve strings.” The string leaves and ties himself into a sheepshank, wearing away some of the thread in the process.

The string re-enters the drinking establishment and orders a drink.

Bartender asks, “Aren’t you the same string I just refused to serve?”

String replies, “No, I’m a frayed knot!”

Two pieces of tarmac go into a bar.

They’re having a nice pint when a piece of red cement walks in the door.

One of the pieces of tarmac sees the cement, immediately grabs the other one, drags him to the floor, and pushes him under the table.

“What the hell are you doing?” asks the second piece of tarmac.

“Shh!” replies the first. “I know we’re hard, but that guy’s a fucking cycle path!”

Guys runs into a bar and says to the bartender, “I need six shots of tequila! Quick!”

The bartender quickly sets up six shot glasses and starts pouring tequila, and the man starts slamming them back as fast as the bartender can pour them. “Whoa! Why are you drinking so fast?” asks the bartender.

“You’d drink fast too, if you had what I have!” explains the man.

The bartender arches an eyebrow and backs up a bit. “Um, what do you have?”

“Seventy-five cents.”

The Lone Ranger walks into a bar with his trusty sidekick, Tonto. He turns to Tonto and tells him to go outside and cool down the horses. Tonto goes to do that, but doesn’t have a fan or cool water for the horses, so he starts running around the horses to create a nice cooling breeze. A short time later, someone else walks into the bar and says, “Hey, someone left their Injun’ running.”
