“Two men walk into a bar. You’d think the second one would have seen it” is a classic bar joke. A similar joke was posted on the newsgroup rec.humor on October 8, 1997:
“Two blondes walk into a building. You would think that at least one of them would have seen it.”
The joke has been frequently credited to Welsh prop comedian Tommy Cooper (1921-1984), but no earlier citations have been found.
