Hi Little Hawk, I happen to be that bartender's brother, and let me tell you that I find that very offensive. I never did that, and anyway the big lug promised not to tell anyone!
Surely it is OK to tell jokes about animals? They can't write to their TDs/ MPs/ Congressperson to complain. So this kid went into a petshop and asked to buy a pet wasp. "Son, we don't sell wasps." was the reply. "Sure you do," said the kid, " you had two in the window yesterday!"
