“Man goes in a pub…” (bar joke)
“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” One version is:
“Man goes in a pub. Barman says, ‘Get out, we don’t serve exotic fruit here.’”
’
The pun is that “man goes” is a joke for “mango” (an exotic fruit). “Man goes in a pub, and the bartender says ‘whose are these mangoes?’” was posted on Twitter by The Dariuster™ on May 18, 2010.
