A giraffe, a skunk and a doe are sitting in a bar, swigging down one drink after another.

After a couple hours the waitress arrives with the bar tab.

The doe looks at the other two and says, "I haven't had a buck in weeks"

The skunk says, "don't look at me, I haven't got a (s)cent"

So the giraffe says, "looks like the highballs are on me!"

    Cameron,

    Not "exactly" sure myself, but I do know it's a mixed drink with whiskey in it. My grandfather used to drink 'em all the time, and I still have the highball glasses.

    This is a serious question of mine: what is a highball?

    With regards to the giraffe, it refers to his nuts being high off the ground. I'll let others answer the drinking aspect of a highball.

    I think a highball refers to the type of glass. A tall slender one that you serve a mixed drink in.

    Bunch of alcoholics on the Board.
    Everybody knows that "highballs" are "big balls" or “biguns” or as amateurs say, "stripes," which are numbered 9-15 vs. "lowballs" or "little balls" or as amateurs say, "solids," which are numbered 1-7.
