A World With Opportunities for Everyone!: A Guy Walks Into a Bar . . .
According to the Encyclopedia of American Jokes, someone, or something, has been walking into bars for the past 120 years, with risible results!
The Lake Okoboji Area Improvement Association, of Lake Okoboji, Iowa, has decided that it’s time to celebrate and commemorate these bar jokes. And so, according to Larry Lopper, the chairman of the Lake Okoboji Area Improvement Association (LOAIA), the town will host a “Best Walk-in Bar Joke Competition” this coming January, 2013. Why in the middle of an Iowa winter? Because, says Lopper, that’s when things slow down, except for the ice fishing, and many ice anglers find that walking into a bar beats freezing over a hole in the ice! The whole area could use a little excitement that time of year, adds Lopper. The tentative date is set for Sunday, January 27, 2013.
The event is planned to take place – where else? – in a bar, at Emily’s Tavern and Marina, on Lake Okoboji. Emily Stuhlstead, who is the owner and operator of Emily’s Tavern and Marina, and vice chairperson of the LOAIA, lays out the ground rules for the competition: “It’s open to anyone who can legally be in a bar; here in Iowa that means those 21 years of age and over. The entry fee is five-dollars, which we’ll waive if you buy two beers or a cocktail. If you’re an area farmer, raising corn or soybeans, we’ll let you enter for free; we want to get the rural people involved as much as possible; it’s good business. Your joke has to be clean and family-friendly, although we’ll allow a little political incorrectness.
