Rabbit joke

A rabbit walks into a pub and says to the barman "Can I have a pint of beer
and a Ham and Cheese Toastie?". The barman is amazed but gives the rabbit a
pint of beer and a ham and cheese toastie. The rabbit drinks the beer and
eats the toastie, he then leaves.
>
The following night the rabbit returns and again asks for a Pint of Beer
and a Ham and Cheese Toastie. The barman, now intrigued by the rabbit and
the extra drinkers in the pub (because word gets round) gives the rabbit
the pint and the toastie. The rabbit consumes them and leaves.
>
The next night, the pub is packed, in walks the rabbit and says "A
pint of beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie, please barman". The crowd is
hushed as the barman gives the rabbit his pint and toastie and then burst
into applause as the rabbit wolfs them down.
>
The next night there is standing room only in the pub, coaches have
been laid on for the crowds of patrons attending, the barman is making more
money in one week than he did all last year. In walks the rabbit and says,
"A Pint of Beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie, please barman", smiling and
accepting the tributes of the masses. The barman says, "I'm sorry rabbit,
old mate, old mucker but we are right out of them Ham and Cheese
Toasties".

The rabbit looks aghast, the crowd has quietened to almost a whisper, when
the barman clears his throat nervously and says, "We do have a very nice
Cheese and Onion Toastie". The rabbit looks him in the eye and says, "Are
you sure I will like it?" The masses bated breath is ear shatteringly
silent. The barman, with a roguish smile says "Do you think that I would
let down one of my best friends, I know you'll love it". "Ok" says the
rabbit," I'll have a Pint of Beer and a Cheese and Onion Toastie". The pub
erupts with glee as the rabbit quaffs the beer and guzzles the toastie, he
then waves to the crowd and leaves....
>
> .....NEVER TO RETURN!!!!!!
>
One year later in the now impoverished public house, the barman (who has
only served 4 drinks tonight, 3 of which were his) calls time. When he is
cleaning down the now empty bar, he sees a small white form, floating above
the bar. The barman says, "Who are you" To which he is answered, "I am the
ghost of the rabbit that used to frequent your public house". The barman
says, "I remember you, you made me famous, you would come in every night
and have a Pint of Beer and a Ham and Cheese Toastie, masses came to see
you and this place was famous" The rabbit says, "Yes I know". The barman
said, "I remember, on your last night we didn't have any Ham and Cheese
Toasties, you had a Cheese and Onion one instead" The rabbit said "Yes, you
promised me that I would love it". The barman said "You never came back,
what happened?"
>
"I DIED", said the Rabbit.
>
"NO!" said the barman, "what from".

After a short pause. The rabbit said...
>
"Mixin'-me-toasties".

 

Oh good lord.

 

Ummmmmm, I know we are two peoples seperated by a common language and I also know that the joke is probably funny.....but would someone translate that last part for me?

 

"Myxomatosis (pronounced Mixin'-me-toasties ) is a disease which infects only rabbits. It is caused by the myxoma virus. First observed in Uruguay in the early 1900s, it was deliberately introduced into Australia in an attempt to control rabbit infestation there."

P.S Note to Eileen: don't let my initial reaction fool you. I loved it!

 

Here is another suitably silly rabbit joke

Another one:

In the Wild West a three-legged dog hops into a saloon and says
"I'm lookin' for the man who shot my pa"
