Did I ever tell you about my friend

[soaps]

Shakespeare,?
He went into a bar and asks for a beer.
He was told, I can't serve you,you're Bard!

To me that's all Much Ado About Nothing, but I suppose you have to tell them As You Like It.

The jokes section is a sub topic of Phrases and Sayings I wouldn't give up the day job just yet.

[soaps]

Do you think it's funny enough to put in the joke section Jan?

[mike11111]

This is not a joke. Mere chit-chat. I spoke to the barman concerned and he told me that he could not serve Shakespeare because it was against the law to serve anyone under the influence, and he was clearly as Tight As Andronicus.

[mike11111]

Had he gone in the day before, the 5th Jan, he would have been OK, but he went in on Twelfth Night. He also hadn't heard of the smoking ban, so asked for a Hamlet.

[mike11111]

What's more, the bit of stuff he was with started working her ticket and refused to leave the premises when asked so the barman had to call for assistance in removing her, saying to his colleague,"Julius, Seize her!"

Hay mick111111. it's only a joke, well kinda!

[mike11111]

I'm on a roll, but I think I'm running out of puns.

[soaps]

Night Night..xx

Of course, had you posted this way back in January it would have been dismissed as merely A Winter's Tale.

Nor did he do himself any favours by crawling off into a corner and dropping a Richard III on the floor.
