A guy walks into a pub in a country town, pulls up a stool at the bar and orders a beer.
Older guy sitting at the bar gives him a friendly nod and says “G’day. Haven’t seen you around these parts before…”
First guy says “Nope, just moved here.”
Older guy says “So, what brings you to this part of the world, then?”
First guy says “I’m a farmer. Just bought myself a place west of town.”
Older guy says “Really? Yeah, me too. I got a place on the east side.”
New guy says “‘zat so? Well, what do you farm?”
Older guy says “Bees. I farm bees.”
New guy says “Hey! Man, so do I! I farm bees too!”
Older guy says “Heh. Bit of a coincidence then.”
New guy says “Yeah. So. How many bees have you got?”
Older guy says “Oh, about 500,000. You?
New guy says “Yeah, same, about 500,000.”
Older guy says “In how many hives?”
New guy says “Oh, 10 hives. How about you?”
Older guy says “2 hives.”
New guys says “500,000 bees?”
Older guy says “Yup.”
New guy says “In 2 hives?”
Older guy says “Yup.”
New guy says “2 hives? For 500,000 bees? Aren’t they a bit crowded.”
“Yup,” drawls the older guy, taking a swig of his beer, “but fuck ’em.”

[…] worked out the problem than just made a wild guess (Simon was also the person who introduced me to The Bee Joke and I think you can see that two people who find such things humorous share a very special bond […]

[…] three steps after you passed the news stand. I am also impressed by economy of wit, and a certain Bee Joke je ne sais quo, so I kept all these things in mind when making my final […]
There’s a desperate need for a Deadwood version of this.
First guy: “Well, what the fuck do you farm?”
Older guy: “Bees. I farm fucking bees. Not that it’s any of your fucking business, you miserable fucking cocksucker.”
Is there a third category, Revrend?
Like, those who aint sure if they get it?
I mean, Im laughin awright, but I aint sure if Im seein quite what youre seein.
Atlas: Well, while I see what you mean, that would totally ruin the joke.
Joey: No, I think you’re in the category of ‘getting it’.
It’s very hard to explain exactly why the Bee Joke is funny. I don’t even know myself, but I always laugh. Even when I typed it I laughed.
There are 2 types of people in the world……..
1…Those who get the Bee Joke
2…Those who do not get the Bee Joke.
Even if you don’t get it you may still be in the 1st catagory

No there are 11 types of people when it comes to the binary joke: those who get it, those who don’t, and those who get it and have heard it about ten million times because it’s been around since the beginning of the internet!.
But it’s the variations that amuse me.
Smug geek joke:
There are 10 types of people: the ones who understand binary, and the zeroes who don’t.
Joke about the joke-teller:
There are 10 types of people: the one who understands binary, and the nine who don’t.
How does one hear a binary joke?
Okay, Revrend, heres MY those-who-get-it / those-who-dont jokeski:
Side by side on horseback, two Roman centurians are ridin slowly along a road, enjoyin a leisurely chat. A considerable distance ahead of em, their slaves are walkin along th road, makin sure th way is clear.
As one slave bends down to remove some piece o debris that is layin in th road, one centurian breaks off th conversation, spurs his horse to a full gallop; and as he closes th distance btween him and his slave, he draws his sword and lops off th slaves head.
Th othr centurian rides up along side th first and says, “Why didja do that? He was th best slave you have.”
Th first jus shrugs and says, “Angle was right.”
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now that was funny!
Tarzan: Me Tarzan.
Jane: I’m Jane.
Tarzan: What whole name?
Jane: Cunt.
Now that’s funny
I sorta don’t quite possibly get it, but I do get that ice cream has no bones.
I got the binary joke back in ’85.
I couldn’t believe it. I have a friend who told a slightly different version of the bee joke back in the 1970’s. And here it is, 30 years later, coming back to me from Australia. I think it just shows it’s a great joke!
