Why Bears shouldn't take drugs....
Pourquoi les ours ne peuvent pas se droguer..

La chute de cette "joke" est intraduisible, cependant, la majorité de ceux qui lisent un peu l'anglais n'auront pas de mal à saisir le sens de la dernière phrase à condition qu'ils possède quelques bases en anesthésie....


The jokes list has been a little quite for a while, so I guess you lot deserve this :-) If you don't like long stories, flush now...

This bear was walking down the street one day. He looked across the road and spied the 'Busy Beef Burger Bar' and thought, 'geez, I'd like a beer. The bear entered the bar, approached the barman, and asked for a beer. Sorry, said the barman, "we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar". The bear was in disbelief, and barrated the barman. The barman threw the bear out.

The bear wasn't going to take this so easy. He re-entered the bar, approached the counter and said, "I'd like a beer". Sorry, said the barman, "we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar who barrate barmen ". The bear was furious, picked up a barstool and smashed it. The barman called the bouncers and they threw the bear out.

But he was a persistent bear.
He re-entered the bar, approached the counter and said, "I'd like a beer". Sorry, said the barman, "we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar who barrate barmen and break barstools". The bear was enraged and bashed a bystander. The barman called the bouncers and they threw the bear out.

Still, the bear was not about to give-up. He re-entered the bar, approached the counter and said, "I'd would like A BEER". Sorry, said the barman, "we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar who barrate barmen, break barstools and bash bystanders". The bear was irate and biffed one of the bouncers. The bouncers rallied together and they threw the bear out.

This bear had staying power, and he was getting mighty thirsty by this stage. He re-entered the bar and said, "I WANT A BEER". Sorry, said the barman, "but we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar who barrate barmen, break barstools, bash bystanders and biff bouncers". The bouncers didn't even wait, they grabbed the bear by the legs as if to drag him out. The bear grabbed the bar and sunk his teeth into the railing. He lost his grip, but took a chunk of railing between his teeth.

The bear lost all composure.
He stormed back into the bar and shouted, "I'm not leaving until I GET A BEER" Sorry, said the barman, "but we don't serve beers to bears in the busy beef burger bar who barrate barmen, break barstools, bash bystanders, biff bouncers and take drugs". "What do you mean", said the bear, "TAKE DRUGS".

The barman replied, "Well, that was a BAR-BIT-U-ATE"
