Ygor walks into a bar, orders four shots of the most expensive 30-year-old single-malt Scotch and downs them one after the other. The barkeep says, "You look like you're in a hurry." "You would be too if you had what I have," said Ygor. "What have you got?" "Fifty cents."

Lon Chaney Jr. walks into a bar with a carrot in his ear and orders a drink. The bartender wants to ask about the carrot, but decides not to mention it.
