A grasshopper walks into a bar. Bartender says, I’ve got a drink named after you. Grasshopper says, What?  Steve? The old man laughs at his own joke. He laughs hysterically. Everyone else in the pub is watching Jeopardy and calling out answers. The old man tells the bartender to pour him another. The beer is placed in front of him, and he adds salt.

A priest and a rabbi are in a canoe. The priest says to the rabbi, I’ll give you a dollar for your life jacket. The rabbi responds, I should be so lucky. What a generous offer….

Men in the bar turn and look at the old man. Shhh. Be quiet, they say. Shut the hell up, others tell him. Jeopardy is on.

Don’t you want to hear how it ends? The punchline?

Nooooo. Stop.

It’s a good one. The Jeopardy music for final Jeopardy begins to play. The old man yells out, Jonah. 

The patrons look at him. 

The answer is Jonah. Go on. Look it up. The minister’s sermon in Moby Dick is about Jonah being placed in the belly of a whale.

How did you know that? One man asks.

It’s a rerun.
