A man walks into a bar and sees a sign that says, "Free drinks for the person who can make our sad dog laugh." Intrigued, the man asks the bartender about the challenge.
The bartender explains that their dog, named Max, has been feeling down lately and they have been trying to cheer him up without any success. If anyone can make Max laugh, they will receive free drinks for the night.
The man decides to give it a shot and approaches Max. He tells the dog a funny joke about a cat who walks into a bar and orders a milkshake. Max looks at the man with a blank stare, clearly unamused.
Undeterred, the man tries another joke, this time about a talking potato who goes on a road trip with a tomato. Still, Max doesn't crack a smile.
Feeling desperate, the man remembers a hilarious meme he saw online and decides to show it to Max on his phone. The dog looks at the meme, starts wagging his tail, and lets out a big belly laugh.
The bartender is amazed and gives the man his free drinks for the night. As he sips his beer, the man asks the bartender, "So, what was it about that meme that finally made Max laugh?"
The bartender chuckles and replies, "Oh, it was just the perfect pun-ato joke!"
