An elephant and a zebu walk into a bar, which is highly unusual, as drinking alcohol is against their religion.

I'm here all night folks.

 

Oh no, look at what I started. I unleashed JA's inner comedian. I'm truly sorry guys.

 

An elephant and a zebu walk into a bar and ask the bartender, "Are you hiring?" The bartender laughs at them and says, "No, we're not hiring. Why don't you guys try the circus or something?" The zebu says, "Why would the circus need bartenders?"

 

Mary Beard in her book Laughter in Ancient Rome considers this her favourite Roman joke: A barber, a bald man and an absent-minded professor taking a journey together. They have to camp overnight, so decide to take turns watching the luggage. When it's the barber's turn, he gets bored, so amuses himself by shaving the head of the professor. When the professor is woken up for his shift, he feels his head, and says "How stupid is that barber? He's woken up the bald man instead of me."

 

An elephant and a zebu walk into a bar. The bartender says to a couple of girls in the corner, "Hey ladies, your tinder dates are here."

 

An elephant and a zebu walk into a bar and ask the bartender if they are hiring. The bartender says they're not and adds, "Maybe you should ask John Anthony. He seems to know all the elephants and zebus in town."

The only square example that I have is this baby ...




... no zebu (just a lion on the reverse)

 

LOL !! Well, it's clear JA has a bunch of kids.....more elephant jokes than I've heard at one time in many years LOL

I think you're pretty funny too @Sallent and I love that coin....and even lost a few of late on end of budget bids.

 

Q: How is an elephant like an apricot?
A: They are both gray. Well, except the apricot.

Sorry Sallen & JA, I had to get involved ...



... I love elephants (they're very cool. eh?)

 

Does that toilet empty out into that ditch the first elephant is sticking his trunk into?

 

A duck walks into a drugstore asks for some chapstick and then says,"put it on my bill."

Beautiful coin, congratulations.

 

just kidding, keep 'em coming!

that's a SUPER coin sallent! this type is on my list, but haven't snagged one yet. yours is one of the sweetest i've seen.

here's a AE elephant/zebu combo from azes ii...

 

Well, the elephant and the zebu finally stepped out of the bar and into my hand.



It looks like good silver just as Civitas Galleries mentioned, and not billon. Sorry for the lighting discrepancy between photos, but these are what you would call quick and dirty shots.

 

Such a fantastic coin! Congrats on the snag

 

nice lookin' coin, slim-shady
