Alright, what was the joke?
What joke?
The one you were going to tell earlier before I cleared my throat to remind you how inappropriate it would be to tell it there.
Oh, that one! Right. Prepare to be dazzled.
I sense an anti-climax coming on.
No, Minerva, dear; that comes later.
ALBUS!
Sorry.
I think you should stand up for your rights as a woman, Professor. Don't let him objectify you.
It's quite alright, Miss Granger. Professor Dumbledore and I operate under special circumstances.
Oh, Merlin. Does that mean you two are together?
Why does everybody think that?
Well, who could resist my charms?
You won't have any charms to resist in a minute. And no, Mr. Weasley, the Headmaster and I are not 'together', as you so nicely put it.
That's a shame. I always kind of thought you were.
I was wondering when you would show up, Potter.
May I ask a rather obvious question?
Please do, Professor.
How did your hands fall upon this conversation?
A wizard never reveals his secrets, Sir. Sorry.
Ah, of course. How could I have forgotten?
Give me strength.
So what was that joke then, Professor?
Drumroll, please.
Albus, get on with it.
Okay, so a troll, a hag and a leprechaun walk into a bar.
…
I-Is that it?
Yes. It's hilarious.
Are you sure that's it?
Absolutely.
Are you sure you didn't just miss the end of it, Professor?
Why does everybody doubt me?
Actually, that's not bad. I mean, it's not Fred and George quality, but it's not bad.
What are you talking about, Ronald.
A troll, a hag and a leprechaun walk INTO a bar. As in physically walk into it.
Oh.
But that's…
That is terrible.
It makes sense though.
Not really.
Shouldn't you lot be getting off to your next lesson now?
Yes, Professor.
Yeah, see you, Professors.
*Five minutes later*
That's not at all what I meant.
What are you wittering on about now? I'm trying to mark an essay here.
The joke.
Oh, not that again. Please refrain from bringing up that atrocity in the furtue.
But I didn't mean that they walked INTO a bar.
Then what did you mean?
I would have thought you would have been able to pick up the contextual comedy of the joke.
Sorry, nope.
A TROLL, a HAG and a LEPRECHAUN.
No. Still not getting it.
Think about it. How likely is it for all of those creatures to walk into a bar together?
Not likely at all.
Exactly.
Still not finding the funny here.
Picture it.
Still not funny.
Imagine them sitting together. They couldn't happily drink and converse together could they?
That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.
Situational comedy, my dear. Some people just don't understand.
