Drunk Giraffe
One day, a man walked into a bar with his pet giraffe. He said to the bartender, “Could I have a drink for myself and one for my giraffe, please?”
The bartender, not being in the habit of serving alcohol to animals, hesitated at first but eventually gave in to the persistant pleadings of the man.
The man quickly downed his drink, as did the giraffe. He asked the bartender again for a round of drinks. The bartender complied, thinking, “What harm could come out of a drunk giraffe?”
After several more rounds, the man was a little tipsy and the giraffe was noticably drunk. However, the man asked yet again for two drinks, one for himself and one for his giraffe. The bartender, feeling that he had contributed enough to the delinquency of the giraffe, finally refused the man.
The man then got up from the bar and started walking out of the door, his giraffe following closely behind. However, on his way, the giraffe passed out on the floor of the bar and the man was unable to move or wake him, try as he might.
Frustrated with his own incompetence as a bartender, the bartender said, “Hey man! You can’t leave that lying there!” To which the man promptly replied, “It’s not a lion, it’s a giraffe.”
