joke or not?

:help: sigh...jokes just aren't funny if you have to explain them. Anyway, the Oxygen Bar is just that...a bar where people go to breath oxygen as a pick-me-up. The joke is similar to any joke that has someone or something walking into a bar....as in "A man walks into a bar.....yada, yada"...only this time it's a fish...but instead of walking, he's swimming...ofcourse. ;) The bartender asks him what he would like...but being just a fish, all he is going to do is sit and stare....fish don't talk..lol. The bartender is so tired and overworked he gets the fish(which is really in the bar's aquarium) mixed up with an actual bar patron. That is the premise of the joke. You just have to imagine all of this as it happens.

now i get it!
 
I knew it'd be chancy that most people might not get it. It's definately something that you have to use your imagination for. My husband wouldn't get it for sure. It was just one of those things that seems funny in your head but loses a lot when you try to communicate it. Oh well, its a good thing no one is paying me to be funny. :D I just thought we needed a funny break around here.
 
me too!

I believe that's called "dark humor".
