My best friend doesn't understand this joke... (Do you?)

[Felix Mala]

And I always thought she was way smarter than me..


A dog, a nun and a clown walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "What is this? A joke?"


I tried to explain it to her for 30 minutes. I repeated it several times and she said it just made no sense to her.

Do YOU get it?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. yes

[JTG of the PRB]

2. LOL!

I LOVE that joke. One of my favorites. :rofl:

3. Sometimes really smart people have a hard time with simple things

My sister is like that - it's like she's always expecting things to be complex so she can't wrap her mind around pure simplicity. Strange.

4. Smartness and funny bones aren't always related.

That joke usually works better after a series of "walks into the bar" jokes. I know one of that genre that absolutely flops unless told after other "walks" jokes because by itself it's just weird and tasteless.

5. My high school girl friend was very book smart -- a straight "A" student.

She didn't get very many jokes, though.

People just think in different ways...I've known many people like that.

29. That's one of the best Walks in a Bar jokes I've ever heard.

14. We used to have a daschund... If he was quiet (rarely) or tired (never), I'd say to him:

Why the long face Ziggy?

[stuntcat]

20. oh I can't believe..

I can't believe how hard I just laughed at this :+ I'm so corny.

[jobycom]

8. I might...

Is it really simple, or is there some specific significance to the dog, nun, and clown?

22. OAA, rock on

It's just ridiculous how much brain-time can be sucked up by things that don't make any difference x(
And I was wondering about the dog a little too, it could have easily been a chicken.
