Dad Joke Explanation - 01/10/2026
The Joke: A horse walks into a bar. Bartender: “Hey.” Horse: “Sure.” What’s really going on here: In everyday English, “hey” is just a casual way to say hello. But phonetically, “hey” sounds exactly like “hay” — the main food horses eat. So when the bartender says “Hey”, the horse doesn’t hear a greeting. It hears what sounds like an offer of food (hay) So the horse reacts logically from its own point of view and answers politely: “Sure.”
