A man walks into a bar with his monkey. They sit at the bar and the man orders them each a beer.
Pretty soon the man has to relieve himself and go to the rest room. He gets the attention of the barkeep and motions to his monkey and says, “While I’m gone, if he needs a beer, go ahead and give him one on my tab, but please, not matter what he does, don’t give him any hard liquor. You really don’t want to give him hard liquor.”
The barkeep nods in approval.
Of course as soon as the monkey’s owner leaves, another patron who heard the conversation says, “Bartender, if you set that monkey up with a double shot of Jack, there’s a good tip in it for you!”
Again, the barkeep nods in approval. As he sets the double Jack down in front of the monkey, the monkey starts smiling ear to ear and immediately downs the Jack Daniels.
Almost as immediately, the monkey shoots up from his barstool and runs up and down the bar spilling drinks and throwing bowls of peanuts and ashtrays full of butts into the air. He then jumps up and swings from hanging lamp to hanging lamp avoiding anyone trying to catch him.
Finally he drops from lamps onto the pool table where he grabs the cue ball on the table and swallows it whole.
The man returns from the restroom and sees the mess and knows that someone gave the monkey hard liquor. The barkeep admits responsibility and says, “He swallowed our cue ball!”
The man takes his drunken monkey home.
A few weeks later the man and his monkey return to the bar and the same barkeep is again there. Again, the man orders himself and his monkey each a beer. The monkey reaches over and picks up a peanut, sticks it in his ass, and then eats it.
The bartender says, “What the hell!! That’s disgusting. Why did he do that?”
“After the cue ball incident,” the man replies, “he checks
everything”.
