As a former bartender (and lover of word play), I’ve collected a few bar jokes over the years. Here’s my new favorite:

A man walks into a bar with a newt.

Bartender asks, “What’s your pet’s name?”

Man, “Tiny.”

Bartender, “Why do you call him Tiny?”

Man, “Because he’s my newt.”

As with most bar jokes, its best said aloud…
