Shakespeare when a young man, before he became famous, was having a conversation with a friend, in a public house (pub).

Things got a bit heated and Shakespeare began shouting at his friend and slamming his fist down on the table.

The pub landlord decided that enough was enough and threw Shakespeare out onto the street, saying, "YOUR BARD".

bard: poet, vs barred: the past participle of the verb bar: to prohibit
sorry "Mefikit" for revealing the pun

NO, that's quite OK. Especially for the slow thinkers. Who needs Google when Basel is about.

🤣

Some people just mark "funny" for the heck of it, without really understanding the joke.

FUNNY

Not bad.
