“Two dragons 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 dragon version is:

“Two dragons walk into a bar. One dragon says, ‘It’s warm in here.’ The other says, ‘Shut your mouth.’”

The joke was cited on Twitter on November 12, 2009.
