A bartender is shutting up for the night when there is a knock at the door.
He answers the door and there’s a bum asking him for a toothpick. The barkeep gives him one and shuts the door.
After a few moments, there’s another knock at the door. The bartender opens it again to find yet another bum. Another request for a toothpick. The bartender gives the bum one and shuts the door again.
Because everything in jokes like this involves sets of threes, there’s a THIRD knock on the door. This time, though, the bum only wants a straw.
“Why not a toothpick?”
“Someone threw up on the sidewalk, but all of the good stuff is gone already!”
