“A king, a queen, and a joker walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…”  is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” A blackjack version is:
 
“A king and queen walk into a bar. The bartender says, ‘Sorry, you’re not 21.’”
 
The bartender is usually concerned about 21 years of age. In blackjack, the “king” and “queen” cards each count for 10, and they are 20 together—that is, under 21. The joke was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on September 9, 2022.
 
A related joke involves getting “carded.” “The King and Queen of Hearts walk out of a bar.  The Queen says, ‘I can’t believe I got carded’” was posted on Facebook by Dan Crawford on June 18, 2017. “A king, a queen, and a joker walk into a bar. They were all carded. #amwriting #wordplay #justforfun” was posted on Facebook by David Michael Williams on June 13, 2019.
