A Door is a Jar

I just saw Dev's twitter post and cracked up because I made this joke up recently. Actually, I just embellished the simpler version: "when is a door not a door?"

Doubt Devin will see this, but thought I'd share:

A city grew desperate when confounded by a plague of bank robberies. The thefts happened after hours with no visible signs of forced entry. Clueless, they called in a special detective to get to the bottom of the mystery.

After a little while the detective found substantial evidence and gathered everyone for a community meeting to share his findings. He said. "It appears there is a common thread between the banks that were robbed. All of the vault doors were unlocked. However I'm afraid I'm no help for the solution. You'll need to find a good psychiatrist as this appears to be a serious case of identity crisis."

One of the bank managers, who lost a large portion of money, shook his head in dismay saying, " I always had a feeling that door was a jar."

Bill Hicks had a good joke about driving a car on acid with voice safety features, "The door is ajar", "how can the door be a jar man?"

Can someone please explain this to me? :D
Or is this some kind of higher being stuff that just beats the lowlife brains like mine?
I demand to know what is the Jar and how do you get into it?
And how is a door a jar?
Or a policeman tiny?
Only tiny policeman I can think of, is the small black woman in Police Academy who has a really sqeaky voice but still got things going :lol:

I find the latter humorous affliction funnier than the former comedic suggestion, but each to their own. :wink:
