a twitter update that spawned a short story

A Moose, Canada, a copper tube, and a 17 year old fish walk into a bar. The bartender says "the fish can stay, but i dont want the rest of your kind here." So, the moose and Canada tell the copper tube to go get bent, (because canada can't tell male moose apart from female moose, and is too polite to swear in front of what he assumes is a lady) and go off to find some cheap thrills. Canada suggests  a hockey game, but the moose will have none of it. (As it turns out, it was a female moose, and apparently girl moose don't like hockey). the moose then suggests that they find another bar, and Canada is all wait, you can talk? at this point the moose is a little frustrated, because she wants to get her drink on.  The Moose says "yes i can talk, but then again, you are canada, so yeah. Maple syrup or something. pretend i said a joke."  Then, Canda, who is all sorts of unshakeable, and very polite, pretends that the moose said a really funny joke, and doubles over laughing.  The moose is at this point, terribly confused, and even more thirsty.  She proceeds to verbally berate Canada, and then the two go looking for a bar. at the next one they find Mr Copper pipe, who is very busy imbibing beer and sharing it with the frat boy behind him.  at this point, the narrator grows weary of the antics of  Ms. Moose and Senor Canada, switches the tale back to the 17 year old fish (who shall remain genderless because the narrator can't tell fish genders, and feels like a horrible bigot for it) and we find him in bar #1(a title that explains the snobbiness regarding countries and large mammals) drinking tap water mixed with beer. (fishes are light weights.) fish then says to the bartender "hi" can i get another half and half, this time hold the hot sauce"

WHat will become of our noble group of intrepid souls searching for a good time?
tune in next time to find out.

I'm surprised the bartender didn't ask "What is this, some kind of joke?"
