Ignore 'em, yes, it was corny, but I love corny jokes, they're often better than the so-called "slick" ones, me, I also like "shaggy dog stories", coincidentally this one is about a shaggy dog;
A knight was out in a snowstorm on foot, his horse had thrown him & galloped off, & he was struggling through deep snow, when suddenly, out of the swirling snow, a St Bernard dog appeared, & stopped, the knight clambered on it's back, & off they went, looking for shelter, they went miles, three inns were full, then at the fourth, also full, he was desparate, cold & hungry he said,

Come on landlord, you wouldn't turn a knight away on a dog like this.
