A few years ago at my brother's rehearsal dinner, I told the guy next to me
this old chestnut:

A mushroom walks into a bar, but the bartender says, "Hey, we don't serve
your kind!  Get out!"  The mushroom looks perplexed and says, "Why?  I'm a
fun guy!"

He laughed heartily and enjoyed the joke so much that later in the evening I
overheard him repeat it to someone else:

A mushroom walks into a bar, but the bartender says, "Hey, we don't serve
your kind!  Get out!"  The mushroom looks perplexed and says, "Why?  I'm a
great guy!"
