      "All right, here is one..."
Fellowship joke
      "I was discussing philosophy with a Fellowship member the other day and he asked me, 'What, in thine opinion, is the height of stupidity?."

      "I noticed that the third pool was empty and I asked him why."
      "He said that it was for people who could not swim!"
Lord British
      "Poor Lord British! When faced with a gigantic menace that threatens his entire kingdom he is an extremely capable ruler."

      "So I gave him this advice -- sleep until noon!"

      "He looked as if he had not eaten for days and complained of terrible pain in his stomach."
      "So I told him his stomach was empty. If he put something in it he would feel better."
      "Later he complained to me of a headache. I said his headache was caused by a similar problem as his stomach."
      "No doubt it did hurt him so because, being a mage, there was nothing left in it!"
mages
      "All of the mages have gone daft or mad! What other proper response is there in a world that is so terrifically funny?!"
Sullivan joke
      "Thou art a brave Avatar! Dost thou wish to hear another?"

      "Didst thou knowest that the notorious Sullivan the Trickster recently became a father?"
      "It is true! They say the baby has his father's eyes and his mother's nose, but they made the baby give them back."
Sullivan
      "Yes, I know the man they call Sullivan the Trickster! In fact thou dost remind me of him!"

      "Thank thee very much! Now, goodbye!"
      "Dost thou get it? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! If not, it would be my pleasure to repeat it."
      "Wouldst thou like to hear the gold joke again?"
Yes

      "Thank thee very much! Now, goodbye!"
      "Dost thou get it? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! If not, it would be my pleasure to repeat it."

No
      "I see thou art becoming wise to the ways of show business, milord. Good day to thee!"
