"An Iowa man who took his pet zebra to a bar was arrested for drunken driving."
His name was Jerald Reiter and he was arrested in the parking lot of the Dog House bar. That was his first mistake, he took a zebra to the Dog House bar. The clue was in the title. The Zebra House bar was probably just down the street.
So, what can we say about this story?
It wasn't the first time he was stopped with the zebra in his truck. The policeman pulled him over and said, "Where do you think you're going with that zebra?"
Jerald said, "I'm taking him to the Dog House bar."
The cop said, "You can't take a zebra out like that, it's a wild animal. You have to take him to the zoo. Understand?"
And Jerald said, "Yeah, I understand," and he drove off.
The next day the policeman pulls him over and there in the truck is his zebra. The policeman says, "Oi! I thought I told you to take that zebra to the zoo."
And Jerald says, "I did take him to the zoo. We had a great time. Today I'm taking him to the cinema."
When Jerald got the zebra to the Dog House bar he went in and said to the barman, "A pint for me and a pint for the zebra, please."
The barman said, "Are you sure? It's not used to drinking?"
"Ah, he'll be fine," said Jerald, and they downed their drinks. "Another round, barkeep!"
This went on all night, pint after pint, till the bar closed. The zebra stood up to leave, wobbled and collapsed on the floor. The barman shouted to Jerald, "Oi! You can't leave that lying there."
And Jerald said, "It's not a lion, it's a zebra!"
Yes, I know they were old rubbish jokes, and even Jerald would say they were bad. But the zebra wouldn't. He can't. He's a little horse.
