This is a well-known story that you can read on many websites. I would really like to know who the original author was, so as to attribute it properly.
Me too. I suspect it might have originated in America - spellings and references to plants like milkweeds. My brother sent it to me and it made me smile so I thought I would share it.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
Not sure about the relationship between your link and the current discussion ; plagiarism?
Anyway I've been a great fan of Tom Lehrer for many years and I still listen to his songs from time to time just to enjoy his irresistible black humour.

I didn't for one second think that LB was the author of the text
, just that she was sharing a funny story with us all. It made me chuckle 
.
Anyways. A man walks into a bar with a horse, and the barman says...
Oops I'd better not repeat that one either
. You all know the punchline 
Gold star for Pansy ? ?
Goes well with my golden oldie, eh?
Ahh - pansy and Kitty - but do you know the Dave Allen one about the man going into the bar...the one about the wolves?
One of my all time favourites.
Google it...you have to hear him doing it. Brilliant.
The other is the Tommy Cooper one about the man walking into a bar and saying 'ouch'. It was an iron bar...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
