Annu's "Joke"
A woman is drinking in a tavern alone. She is attractive, and not before long, a man approaches her on this basis. This, as you will see, is a common theme of this and many jokes and should help make the joke feel familiar, even though it is one of my own creation. The man sits down beside her and, in an attempt to ingratiate himself to the attractive lady, says what he believes to be a clever line of dialogue: "If I say that I have lost grip on my body, could I hold yours instead?" The woman, annoyed by the man's poor attempts at seduction, uses a polymorph spell to turn the man into a barnacle, which, as we all know, has little control over where it can travel.
Somehow, humorously undeterred by these events, a second man approaches the attractive woman and tries a line of dialogue of his own: "My soul is incomplete without you, but I bet with the two of us together, it would give me the strength to go all night long!" The attractive woman, even more annoyed by this second attempt, performs an equally ironic punishment for the man, killing the man and resurrecting his corpse as a skeleton, whose skills and abilities are obviously less than that of a living man with a living soul.
Inconceivably, a third man, unfazed by the mutilation of the first two, approaches the attractive woman. This time, as the woman has lost her temper, she addresses the man before he has time to say a clever line. "You saw what I did to that man's body and this man's soul. You must have lost your mind to come over here and think you stand a chance at seducing me!" The man, rather than being scared or put off by the attractive woman's outburst, simply smiles. "How did you know that I lost my mind? I was coming over here to ask if you have you seen it anywhere?"
