Pretty Good Jokes
A duck walks into a bar."Do you have any ice cream?"he asks the bartender.
"No, I'm sorry, all I have is beer and liquor"
"Are you sure that you don't have any ice cream?" The duck asks.
"I told you. No ice cream, just beer and liquor," said the bartender.
The duck leaves. The next day the duck returned to the bar.
"What do you want?" Asked the bartender.
"Do you have any ice cream?"
"I told you yesterday. No ice cream. Now get out."
For three more days the duck returned and asked for ice cream.
The bartender finally told the duck, "If you come back again and ask for ice cream, I will nail your feet to the floor. Now get out of here."
The next day the duck returns.
"What is it this time?" scowled the bartender.
"Do you have any nails?" asked the duck.
"No I don't have any nails. All I have is beer, and liquor!"shouted the bartender.
"Good," says the duck. "Do you have any ice cream?"
