KZ Country Cheesy Joke of the Day 01/24/25

A large, menacing guy walks into a bar. He chugs back a beer and says, “All the guys on this side of the bar are morons! Anyone got a problem with that?” Everyone is understandably silent. He chugs another beer and says, “All the guys on the other side of the bar are losers! Anyone got a problem with that?” Everyone is silent. Then one man gets up from his bar stool and starts to walk toward the man. “You got a problem, buddy?” And the guy replies, “No, I’m just on the wrong side of the bar."
