“An SQL query walks into a bar…” (bar joke)
“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” There are several jokes involving SQL (Structured Query Language), pronounced “sequel” or by the letters “ess-que-el” by some. The jokes involve “tables” at a bar or at a restaurant.
