It doesnt work as well if you dont make him a pirate!! I'm telling ya. The pirate dialect is the heart of the joke, and you ruined it. Shame on you.

That is where you are wrong. Pirates are very funny sounding. Plus the dialect at the end doesnt make nearly as much sence as it would if he were a pirate.

Only if he were a truck driver who spoke like a pirate, which would defeat the point of having a truck driver instead of a pirate.

And its stupid, how fitting.

Actually this whole concept is kind of stupid.
Perhaps they should rename it 'stupid joke of the week.' They aren't very good with getting one out a day.

With? You're the one that knows both of them in real life, it would be far easier for you to take the time to do that than for me to go all the way over there and do it.

Ballarinas dont have zippers to put the steering wheel onto, and I sure hope they don't Have any nuts to be driving. I say it needs to be a pirate because otherise the "its driving me nuts" doesn't click as fast. It clicks much faster if you are talking like that from the start. Sure a ballarina would be more ammusing in a bar joke, but a pirate is still better than "a guy".

A truck driver does a lot more driving than a pirate. Think about it, only one person on a pirate ship can steer at a time (most of them never do), but a truck driver has a 60% chance of being the one driving. Not to mention "drive" and "driver" go together nicely.

It's not that great of a joke anyway though, but it is definitely more ammusing with the Pirate. Go Jambo!

Where did you get the 60% from? Also truck drivers probably wouldn't say "it's been driving me nuts" in the way the punch line wanted it to be said, thus making my pirate once again the better choice. Maybe a leprechaun would work for the occasion, but the thing about that is that you expect the Irish to be in a bar.

Being a pirate is unnecessary information. Should I give his age? Height? Place of origin? Favorite color? Hat size? Driver's license expiration date?
Of course not. The joke is much better in its streamlined form, in which there is simply "a guy".

You've shown many times that your opinions are not worth listening to, so you're actually hurting his cause.

You'd be leaving out a key part of the joke. How many guys in the worl say "dar" and "arr" and "me" Not many guys at all. The pirate's hat size, height, and weight, are not relevant at all.

Actually adding those things would be quite ammusing if you made them odd. Eg. A 69 year old pirate walked into a bar and had a steering wheel on hiz zipper. Pink being his favorite color he wore a pink one gallon hate size appox. 42.0 in size. He had a humungous head. So, you could put them in a joke to make it funnier, but the pirate is the heart of the joke, thus making it relevant.
