TGIF! It’s been a rough week, so I’m in need of some additional material. I’m hopeful that this will spark some of you to help add to my collection. A sandwich came into a bar one night. The bartender stepped up and saw plainly that the new customer was a sandwich and shouted, “Hey get outta here we don’t serve food in here!” A number twelve walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a pint of beer. “Sorry, I can’t serve you,” states the bartender. “Why not?!” asks the number twelve with anger showing in its voice. “You’re under 21, ” replies the bartender. Enjoy!
