Barhopping in the Kitchen

It’s Friday, and regular readers of the Kitchen know what that means. It’s time for a little humor! (emphasis on “little”) However instead of exploring the world of puns, I thought we’d hit the bars today, along with the Grammar nazis:

  • Past, Present, and Future walked into a bar. It was tense.
  • A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then leaves.
  • An intransitive verb walk into a bar. He sits. He drinks. He leaves.
  • A dangling modifier walks into a bar. After finishing a drink, the bartender asks it to leave.
  • A question mark walks into a bar?
  • The bar was walked into by the passive voice.
  • Two quotation marks walk into a “bar.”
  • A spoonerism balks into a war.
  • A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.
  • A sentence fragment that walks into a bar.
  • A subject and a verb disagrees about which bar to walk into.
  • An Oxford comma hops, skips, and jumps into a bar.
  • The subjunctive would walk into a bar, were it in the mood.
  • A prescriptivist walks into a tavern, because of course ‘bar’ means the counter at which drink is served rather than the establishment itself. He wonders why nobody else is there.

Giving credit where credit is due: Some of these were created by Eric K. Auld.

    A split infinitive decides to quickly go into a bar in order to quietly drink.
