Libertarian joke

[Michchamp]

So Ayn Rand, Rand Paul, and Paul Ryan all walk into a bar.

The bartender serves them tainted alcohol because there are no health regulations.

They all die.


Ha ha ha, get it?!

It's funny because Ayn Rand was already dead anyway, right?

Well the joke presupposes she is still alive, actually.

Oh.

Well then I don't get it.

Plus I don't know why you didn't include Ryan Ayn (the most famous libertarian that nobody's ever heard of) in the group.

And if I were Ayn Rand, that would be the last time I ever went to that fuckin' bar, too.

How many lives does that atheist bitch get, anyway?

yeah, I think there are a couple things you could include there to explain the joke better, especially that the bartender is an Ayn Randian hero, a "great man" who is "unconstrained by the rules of government meddlers" or "the leeches of society" or whatever, so that's why he sells tainted alcohol... because it's cheaper and he can therefore maximize his profit, and bear no consequences of his actions.

But then you risk making the joke not funny; brevity is the soul of wit, as they say. I think.

Or you could just say the bartender was Ryan Ayn.

That would do the trick.

I guess it would make sense to name him after a character in one of the sociopathic heroes of her books.

"John Galts' Bar" or whatever. That gets the point across.

this is good too:

...bartender gets an IRS audit notice in the mail, burns down his bar, heads off into the wilderness, and is the only survivor when society crumbles.

Well, to my knowledge, Ryan Ayn isn't the name of any of any of Ayn Rand's fictional characters; I just came up with it because of the sequence of the names of the other (non-fictional) characters in the joke.

Ayn Rand...Rand Paul...Paul Ryan...thus Ryan Ayn.

There's Andrew Ryan from Bioshock.

Yes, but we already have Paul Ryan.
