So a pigeon walks into a bar and... ('Sesame Street' Wednesday)

Ernie and Bert are cool.

And funny!

At least Bert thinks he is, as seen in an old skit I found in which he tells pigeon jokes. I vaguely remember seeing this sketch in the late '70s or so:



I can think of a few pigeon jokes that are just as funny that ol' Bert missed:

Q: Why did the pigeon look in the toilet?
A: Beakause! Get it? BEAKause!

Q: What does 'pigeon' stand for?
A: Pooping In Gutters Every Other Night!

Q: Why was the pigeon kicked out of the brothel?
A: He couldn't pay the BILL!

Eeh eeh eeh! Eeeheeheeheeheeh! (Patented Bert laugh.)

Later, in the '90s, there was an actress who had numerous sitcom roles who laughed just like Bert. Remember her?

This sketch is also one of the few Bert and Ernie segments that Bert actually won. That is, if your idea of winning is making an ass of yourself in public.
