A toothless termite walks into a bar.
And says, “Is the bar tender here?”
The joke “A toothless termite walks into a bar and says, ‘Is the bar tender here?'” is a play on words involving a pun on the term “bar tender.” Termites are known for eating wood, and a bar is often made of wood. Normally, a termite would be a threat to a wooden structure. However, in this joke, the termite is humorously characterized as toothless, implying it can’t actually eat wood as termites typically do. The term “bar tender” usually refers to a person who serves drinks at a bar. But in this context, the termite is asking if the wood of the bar is “tender” (soft or easy to eat), playing on the dual meaning of the word “tender.”
He complains, ‘This place has no bite!’
