Joke gone bad one a first date

[Jacklynn]

So Matt and I were at Chili's the other day for lunch. As we were walking in I heard a few of the workers talking about a couple at one of the tables. They were saying something about it being their first date.

Well Matt and I were sat near them and couldn't help but over hear part of their first date.

Well all of the sudden the girl was like "Okay I have a joke for you" She then says.... "An ant walks into a bar and asks if the bartender is there." And that is all she said. He just sat there. And then she was like "Do you get it????" and he just like sat there quiet.... so then she tries to explain more... "You don't get it?? An ant walks into a bar and asks if the bartender was there" He just still sits. So she says, "Get it, the bar was made of wood!" She tries explaining for a while more and he finally says oohhh okay I get it...

Matt and I did everything we could to hold back our laughter. We are clueless as to what the joke was suppose to be, and I don't think the poor guy ever got it either.

Laying in bed last night as we were starting to dose off I looked over at Matt and said, "Hey, so an ant walked into a bar...." and we just started busting out laughing.

Does anyone get it?? Are we crazy and it actually is a joke? If you know it please enlighten me. Or are you all clueless as well?

That was so funny. I was laughing as I was reading. I have no idea about the joke but boy do you have a story to tell for a while.

I read this to my husband and he said if she had said termite instead of ant it would have made sence to him. I told him I still didn't get it that way. I mean I know termites eat wood but it still made no sence to me.

Hmm. I used to tell the termite in a bar one... but it was like "is the bar tender here?"

Get it?

I don't understand the ant one though...

Um I think not only was she telling a flop, she was telling it wrong. Ouch.

Wow. I can just see how he'll tell his friends: "She's pretty, smart, fun...well, not so funny...and now that I think about it, not so smart either. But she's hot!"

[Jacklynn]

Yeah Matt and I wondered if she meant termite, but she kept saying over and over again.... "Get it?! An ant walked into a bar!" and then she would say, "You don't get it?! The bar was made of wood" and she would crack up. She was focusing mostly on the fact that it was made of wood. So even if she meant termite she was only focusing on half the joke making it not really that funny. I don't she even got it if it was suppose to be Bar TENDER, she was for sure making it one monotone word lol.

Well she was funny in a way too Matt and I... it cracked us up :)

[caligal85]

Well maybe she was nervous and didn't realize that she was telling it wrong. Yeah, yeah that had to be it. Here's hoping.

Hahaha! Poor thing. I feel worse for you guys and the guy though--I would have had a time not laughing AT her!

I don't understand the ant one though...That is what I was thinking; maybe the girl said it wrong.
