U

Two persons of average appearance and demeanor walk into a drinking establishment. One turns to the other and says, "That's 'bar' you idiot! It's always '...walk into a bar.' You've blown our cover already!" They turn and leave, the senior still cursing the junior as their ship rises into the ionosphere and beyond. The junior vows to rise above this scapegoating.

Sounds as if those two weren't quite ready for prime time.
It's just bizarre enough to be amusing. Did you write it?

Here's another:
The past, the present, and the future walked into a bar.
It was tense.

Oh, it's just the kind of thing that my brain might come up with when it needs sleep. Didn't think it was a knee-slapper, exactly, but it is me.

I liked yours. Could also go with the bartender saying, "My life just passed before my eyes."
