Early Nineteenth century women were delighted when a dalliance with a notorious poet was rewarded with a copy of his famous work, Don Juan, delivered anonymously to their home.
Or as it became known, Byron, get Juan free.
Just one flaw in that story. How did the wise man and his visitors live on the mountain, if it was so high that no plants or animals could survive? Sorry to be pedantic.
It helps to suspend logic a bit.
Acolytes bringing him food and drink. Simples.
I thought that at first then remembered that people are animals too.
So is the guru then which defeats your point. Clearly "survive" here must mean "make it their home."
It was a joke for goodness sake. Why are people taking it so seriously?
Because they enjoy doing so. Perhaps lighten up?
Because pointing out fallacies in jokes is also, actually, quite funny. I enjoyed the diversion. I think it extended the joke in a totally different way.

Telford, please don't take this the wrong way, but you have a talent for bad jokes. I miss my dad, who shared that talent.

All fathers tell terrible jokes. We're sent away to a special school when we first become a father where we learn them, along with important Parentisms like "Now when I were a lad", "you'll have someone's eye out with that" and "I'm not telling you again".
My wife went to Costa Rica a few years ago. She would say the hooting monkeys there could use painkillers or tranquillizers.
I don’t get it
Not a joke. I was reacting to the joke about not finding painkillers in the jungle because the parrots eat them. My point was that if any animal in the jungle should have a sedative or something it is the howling monkeys.

That was my point - if no plants or animals can survive then clearly the guru can't either. Unless the acolytes are bringing oxygen, hyperbaric chambers and the like as well as food.
The joke has now been thoroughly deconstructed, scrutinized and held up to standards of logic and reason, and found wanting and replete with factual errors. (Yes, but was it any good?)
A horse walks into a bar. He walks up to the barman and says “I'd like a pint of beer.” The barman is stunned, but heads to the back of the bar to speak with the manager. He says, “There’s a horse in the bar asking for a pint of beer.” The manager pauses for a second, then replies, “Well, give him one, then, but charge him double. He's a horse, he's not going to know the price of a pint.” So the barman goes back out and pulls a pint for the horse. “You know,” says the barman, “we don’t get many horses around here.” To which the horse replies, “At these prices, I’m not surprised.”

Why couldn’t the python cross the road?
Because he’d swallowed the chicken
How about an 800 lb alligator?
To die alone. In the rain.
Because he was a double-crossing toad!
Two in the back and two in the front.
There are footprints in the butter
Maybe, but that would completely miss the point of the joke
Their mini is parked outside
So they can hide in cherry trees.
Giraffes eating cherries.
Have you seen an elephant in a cherry tree?
See, it works!
None, it's full up with elephants.
The Elephants keep stomping on them.
Because the parrots eat em' all.

Good point!
I'd say that one is quite good!
I don’t get it
It’s a loaf hat diet
Nor I.

How do you get two whales in a mini?
You cross the Severn Bridge.

As for the joke you didn’t understand, you need to say it out loud, quite quickly to see/hear how it works
In the US I think that is

I have back issues. When I was on holiday in Paris, I stopped in a pharmacie looking for Tylenol. The druggist gave me paracetamol.
Does help to explain terms to people a bit.
Now, to the horse in a bar joke. Shall we deconstruct it too?
They also would knock down a lot of furniture, I would imagine.
Mum to daughter: 'Find out what little Tommy is doing, and tell him to stop.'
YES
"Wow, that's a pretty clever dog!"
"Not really, I'd expect to beat him 2 times out of 3"
