A man walks into a bar...

A man walks into a bar. The bartender looks over and says, "Hey, buddy, are you all right?"

This joke is centered around a garden path statement. Normally, when a joke starts with "A man walks into a bar", the bar that we are talking about is a alcoholic beverage serving establishment. The bar in this joke is not that type of bar, but a long hard object. I chose this joke over the shorter "A man walks into a bar and says 'Ow!'", because - in my mind - the pacing is better.
