Inspired by [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=697224), the challenge is to come up with an _original_ “A (blank) walks into a bar…” joke. It has to be totally original-I and other posters _will_ be checking the internet. If we happen to get more than one original, there will be a poll to pick the best one.

BTW, personally I don’t think it’s possible. 😃

Thank you for prompting me to create a new rule:  
_It has to be considered funny by the general public_.  
Telling a joke that would only be understood by Dopers, or told in a foreign language, or told in binary would certainly be original, but it’s not what I’m looking for.

A man walks into a bar that has an “American Pioneer” theme-rough hewn handcarved tables and chairs, pewter beer mugs, and pictures of famous mountaineers and adventurers like Mike Fink, Daniel Boone, Jim Bridger and Kit Carson…but the man notices that one picture in particular seemed to be missing. He asks the saloon keep, “Why are there no pictures of Davy Crockett?”, and the keep replies “Ain’t no saloon will have anything to do with Crockett because of what he did.” “What did he do that pissed you guys off?”  
“He shot up a b’ar when he was only three!”

Apologies to all. Warning: limerick

A man walks into a bar  
But is banned because of his scar.  
The last time was so drunk,  
He made out with a skunk,  
And his nose fell into the tip jar.
