其描述“An Imp, a Zombie, and Gargantuar walk into a bar..”中的“walk into a bar”是外国的一种常见笑话格式。以下是几则例子:
(1)A cheeseburger walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve food in here."
一汉堡包走进酒吧,酒保说:“抱歉,我们这儿没有食品服务。”(serve一语双关,“提供”和“服务”。)
(2)A man walks into a bar with a giraffe. He says, "A beer for me and one for my giraffe." And they stand around drinking for hours until the giraffe passes out on the floor. The man pays the tab and gets up to leave. The bartender says, "Hey! You're not going to leave that lyin' on the floor, are you?" The man says, "That's not a lion, it's a giraffe."
某人牵着长颈鹿进了酒吧,说:“我和我的长颈鹿各要一杯啤酒。”连喝数小时,长颈鹿醉倒在地。那人付了钱,便要走。酒保道:“嘿!你不能把那倒地的留在我这里便一走了之!”那个人说:“那才不是稻地,那是长颈鹿。”(原文中“lion(狮子)”和“lying(躺)”音近。)
(3)A horse walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "So, why the long face?"
一匹马走进酒吧,酒保问:“伙计,干嘛拉那么长个脸啊?”
