“A square and a circle walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” A circle version is:
   
“A square and a circle walk into a bar. The square says to the circle, ‘You’re round.’”
   
The joke is that “You’re round” (“You are round”) describes the circle’s shape, but “Your round” means that the circle must pay for drinks. The pun was posted on Twitter by Craig Colquhoun #BLM on April 5, 2011.
