“A ham sandwich walks into a bar…” (bar joke)
“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” One food joke variation is:
“A ham sandwich walks into a bar and begins to order. The bartender stops him and says, ‘We don’t serve ham sandwiches here.’ The sandwich says, ‘That’s OK. I just wanted a beer.’”
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2004. Other foods have been used in the joke besides a ham sandwich, such as a mushroom and a chicken.
A shortened (and older) form of the joke is when the bartender replies, “We don’t serve food.”
