I’m going to confess up front that I don’t know enough about grammar to understand all of these jokes; but I know some of my readers do, so their four ewe.
- Three intransitive verbs walk into a bar. They sit. They drink. They leave.
- A comma splice walks into a bar, it has a drink and then 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?
- Two Quotation marks “walk into” a bar.
- A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking a drink.
- The bar was walked into by the passive voice.
- The past, the present, and the future walked into a bar. It was tense.
- A synonym ambles into a pub.
- A gerund and an infinitive walk into a bar, drinking to drink.
- A hyperbole totally ripped into this bar and destroyed everything.
- A run on sentence walks into a bar it is thirsty.
- Falling slowly, softly falling, the chiasmus collapsed to the bar floor.
- A group of homophones wok inn two a bar.Β
UPDATE:
Al left this clever one in the comments:
- An antonym walks out of a bar.
I feel safer now : )

i am going to admit that as an SLP, I mostly help kids with the basic grammar, so I don’t understand them all, either.

Well I had no idea what “chiasmus” meant. So I had to Google it. I got this:
In rhetoric, a verbal pattern (a type of antithesis) in which the second half of an expression is balanced against the first with the parts reversed. Essentially the same as antimetabole.
Needless to say I still have no idea! π

Antonymns, Homonymns and Synonyms will never understand each other and don’t drink together anymore. Dianne (who love run-on sentences and does not believe in split infinitives any more.)

A split infinitive walks into a bar, drinks too much and is arrested for double parking.

Better? To drunkenly walk out of a bar to quickly and to efficiently be arrested for double parking, was not the split infinitive’s idea of a lovely night on the town.
