What is a table without chairs?

Still a table, of course, just as a man without clothes is still a man.

Unless you meant a database table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_(database))?
A pivot table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table)?
Table Mountain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_Mountain) in South Africa?
A table coral (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/kits/corals/media/supp_coral03d.html)?
A sand table (https://www.amazon.com/Step2-Naturally-Playful-Sand-Table/dp/B0009F4YR6)?
The water table (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_table)?
Or, perhaps, you wish to start over with a blank slate (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa)? ;)

A man without clothes can also be a table (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sumo-Wrestler-Asian-Japanese-Japan-Art-Unique-Furniture-Round-Glass-Side-Table-/302654356765) ! :P

More traditionally, perhaps a coffee table or end table, which, while they are often placed near chairs cannot rightly be said to have chairs.

You are so witty! Are you competing with me? Are you!? Or is it the other way around? Here are my two cents regarding belly-laughter . . .

A fly flies into a bar. The fly asks the bartender: "Excuse me, where is the toilet?"

What is a table without chairs?! A tree! There's your damn table! (Speaking to myself.)

And...  where is it?

This time what the fly says is more important than what the bartender says. Or are you hinting at something?

I understand the joke to be that normally a patron would ask the bartender for a drink, and only later ask where the toilet was, because they wanted to use it.
The fly, however, preferring excrement to beer as its refreshment of choice, asked directly for the toilet.

It reminds me of McDonalds. 1st you must order in order to acquire the right to use the toilet forwhy a code for opening the toilet door is on the check.

Haha, I understand: flies don't speak.

You could, God forbid, develop speech impediment; but that does not necessarily mean that you are a fly.

And here's yet another (a bit silly) joke of mine!

An elephant (that reached its full size) enters a bar. The bartender asks him:

- How did you get in?!
- How do I get out?!
- What? You don't like my establishment!?
- Well, do you serve buckets of water or not!? And who is going to clean my gigantic excrement behind me!?

The fly would be happy to do so.

See how 2 problems cancel into no problem at all?
