“A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…”  is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” An grammar version is:
 
“A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.”
 
The joke was published in McSweeney’s on November 8, 2011.
   
 
Wikipedia: Gerund
Gerund (/ˈdʒɛrənd/ or /ˈdʒɛrʌnd/; abbreviated ger) is a term for a verb form that functions as a noun. In English, the term has been applied to -ing forms in certain uses.
     
Wikipedia: Infinitive     
Infinitive (abbreviated inf is a grammatical term referring to certain verb forms existing in many languages, most often used as non-finite verbs. As with many linguistic concepts, there is not a single definition applicable to all languages. The word is derived from Late Latin [modus] infinitivus, a derivative of infinitus meaning “unlimited”.
 
In traditional descriptions of English, the infinitive is the basic dictionary form of a verb when used non-finitely, with or without the particle to. Thus to go is an infinitive, as is go in a sentence like “I must go there” (but not in “I go there”, where it is a finite verb).
