[QUOTE=Johnny L.A.] A drunk walks into a bar and asks the bartender, ‘How tall is a penguin?’ The bartender tells him about three feet. ‘Thank god! I thought I ran over a nun!’ [/QUOTE] There’s a much dirtier version of this joke. Trust me, the guy isn’t worried about merely running the nun/penguin over. ---
