“A woman walks into a bar and asks the bartender for a double entendre” (bar joke)

One popular bar joke is:
 
“A woman walked into a bar and ordered a double entendre, so the barman gave her one.”
 
It’s not known who originated the joke. “A girl waks into a bar and orders a Double entendre. So the barman gives her one” was cited in print in 1998.
 
   
Wikipedia: Meta-joke

Self-referential jokes
This kind of meta-joke is a joke in which a familiar class of jokes is part of the joke. Examples of meta-jokes:
