a joke about two pere ubuists

[JBFRAME at aol.com]

Pere Ubu walks into a bar & orders a vodka gimlet.  Bartender hands him the 
drink.  "That'll be $3.75, sir."
Merde! the mighty Ubu does not soil his hands with filthy coin of a mere 
republic!"
"That's it," says the bartender.  He pulls out a pistol & shoots Ubu right in 
the target formed by the 'pataphysical device inscribed on the filthy robe of 
the monstrous tyrant.  
"Sic semper tyrannis!" cries Ubu, & he falls to the floor with a thud.
The second Ubu, hearing the shot, stumbles out of the back room & drags the 
body into the back yard.
