> There is no way only 5% of people understand this joke. I don't really understand. If the bartender's question were "would you each like a drink," the explanation makes sense, but the original language muddies things too much. The "can I" can be understood as "am I able" or as "may I?" The "a drink" for "you all" is a different sense of things also: are the logicians meant to share? If they're meant to have a shared drink, then an "I don't know" signals that the respondent does not want to drink. That's the opposite sense in which the joke was apparently intended. Why are the first two responses questions? That makes no sense to me at all. Expecting other people to understand the joke seems illogical to me. Is it best understood as a joke on anyone attempting to follow the logic of the joke?
