Drunken Humor
A guy sitting inside a bar, was just looking at his drink.
Just then a truck driver steps in and takes the drink from the guy, and gulps it all down.
The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says: 'Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying.'
'No, it's not that. Today is the worst day of my life. First, I overslept and was late for an important meeting. My boss was outrageous and fired me. When I left my car near my building, I found that it was stolen. The police said they couldn't do anything so I got a cab to return home. After I paid the cab driver and the cab had gone, I found that I had left my wallet in the cab. I got home only to find my wife with my best friend. I left home and came to this bar to put an end to my life. And now you show up and drink my poison...'

Trivia
No wonder they don't sell beer at the circus. Apparently, elephants like to get wasted. In fact, an outpost of the Indian army in the jungle region of Bagdogra, near Sikkim has been under attack ever since a local herd of elephants raided the base in search of food and discovered the soldiers' entire winter rations of rum.
Since then, the pachyderms have regularly raided the base for a drink and have smashed down all defenses put up by the army, including electrified fences and firewalls.
According to The Daily Telegraph, "An officer recently posted there explained that the elephants broke the rum bottles by cleverly curling their trunks around the bottom. Then they empty the contents down their throats. They soon got drunk, he said, and swayed around. They enjoy themselves and then return to the jungle."
This is by no means a singular incident, though. The animal kingdom is well-known for its ability to identify fruit that's begun to ferment. Anthropologists even believe this is how early man discovered alcohol -- by observing the strange behavior of animals on a fruit bender.
