“Janet Street-Porter 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 about a “large aperitif” (large pair of teeth), usually involving a horse or a British figure with large teeth, such as fictional British movie spy (and James Bond parody) Austin Powers or English broadcaster, journalist, writer, and media personality Janet Street-Porter.
