A naked blonde walks into a bar with a poodle under one arm and a two foot salami under the other. She lays the poodle on the table. Bartender says: I suppose you won’t be needing a drink. Naked lady says…  
If this sound familiar to you here’s why: It’s a Breakfast Club reference. It’s the joke Judd Nelson was telling before he fell through the ceiling, RIGHT before he got to the punchline, which we never got to hear.

“No, but my dachshund could use a bowl of water.”  
Aside: unfinished jokes are great for the old dial-a-joke shen. You record your answering machine message as "Hi, you’re reached Dial-A-Joke! Today’s laugher: [tell above joke fragment]…_beeep!_

No, but you got any nailclippers I could borrow?

I think I started a thread about the missing punchline a while back, maybe when John Hughes passed.

Yes, I DO need a drink. I want a Tom Collins, but I’m too afraid ask: look what happened when I said I wanted his hot salami doggy-style?

It’s not so much a puchline as…the rest of the story:

Blonde: A drink? Don’t you care about the sex on your table?  
Barkeep: What sex on the table  
Blonde: I just laid a poodle there  
Barkeep: I suppose you did. What are you gonna do with him now?  
Blonde: I dunno. I got him expressly for that pupose.  
Barkeep: I see. What’d you get the salami for?  
Blonde: Two bucks a pound

I may be misremembering, but I heard once that Nelson ad-libbed this “joke” and there was never a real punchline.

I could use a beer. I tried to get into Oktoberfest, but my sausage is Italian, my dog is French and I’m Swedish. Only my peasant dress was authentic.
