A man walks into a bar...
There are a lot of jokes that start this way "A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink..."

But for fun the joke is:

A horse walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender asks "Why the long face?"

OK, you are supposed to laugh now. :-)

Joke explained: "Having a long face" means you are sad but horses also have a long face. Get it?

Have a nice day!

Re:A man walks into a bar...
My favourite bar joke:

Two strings walk into a bar. The first one says to the bartender:
"Please give me one beer#¤&?=$]*:&%!#}=_$&%)=+^!*&#!}}&[%$".
The other string replies:
"You have to forgive my friend. You see, he is not null-terminated."

(This is a computer porgrammers' joke.
"String" is a sequence of letters or other
characters, like a word, that can be read
from a computer screen. It can have either
an invisible length tag or an invisible
trailing null code to tell the computer
where the string ends. The advocates of
the null code may use jokes like this to
punch the opposite side.)

Those people who ski in a virgin snow
need the longest skis because the
surface pressure must be kept low.
Regular cross-country skis are 2 to 2.5
meters long.

I have seen one or two classic
instruments played at a time, but
never a real orchestra, even a small one.
Live music in general is quite rare in
malls. It is more common in the railway
station underground tunnels of Helsinki,
which could be thought as a kind of mall,
too, because there are some shops there.
Typically you can hear an accompanied
violin, cello, or a woodwind instrument
there.

My best tunnel music experience
happened in Paris, when I listened to
a performing harpist in a subway tunnel.
