Isn't It Funny That ?
"
1. Isn’t it funny that a man in armor is called a knight, but a man in rags at night is called a
thief?
2. Isn’t it funny that we call it a ‘wizard’s staff’ when clearly it’s the stick doing all the work?
3. Isn’t it funny that adventurers say they’re ‘going to clear out the cave’—as if a bunch of
goblins is just a messy room?
4. Isn’t it funny that elves live for centuries but somehow still struggle with commitment?
5. Isn’t it funny that rogues avoid paying taxes, but kings call it ‘diplomatic exemption’?
6. Isn’t it funny that dwarves complain about people being too tall, but their walls are always
big enough for humans?
7. Isn’t it funny that clerics are always healing others but say they ‘follow a higher calling’?
Clearly, it’s the wounded doing the calling!
8. Isn’t it funny that everyone wants to be a hero until the dragon shows up?
9. Isn’t it funny that people call it ‘ancient ruins’ when clearly someone’s still using them?
10. Isn’t it funny that inns always have ‘vacant rooms’ just in time for adventurers? Almost like
someone upstairs has been ‘vacated’ recently…
"Ever noticed...?"
11. Ever noticed that the more coins a purse has, the louder it gets? Like it’s trying to betray
you?
12. Ever noticed that the older a wizard gets, the longer their explanations are? By the time
they hit two hundred, a simple ‘yes’ takes three scrolls.
13. Ever noticed that castles always have secret tunnels, but never a decent chimney?
14. Ever noticed that a man who finds gold is called ‘lucky,’ but a man who hides it is called
‘suspicious’?
15. Ever noticed that people pray hardest after they’ve made a terrible decision?
16. Ever noticed that when a merchant says ‘this is my finest product,’ what they really mean is
‘this is the only one I haven’t sold yet’?
17. Ever noticed that kings always say ‘we’ when they mean ‘you’? ‘We must ride into battle!’
No, your grace, we must ride into battle. You will sit on your cushioned throne.
18. Ever noticed that people who say ‘trust me’ are usually the ones you shouldn’t?
19. Ever noticed that ‘lost treasure’ is never really lost? Someone just doesn’t want to share.
20. Ever noticed that a ghost never haunts a farm? They always choose a castle, like they’re
still obsessed with rent prices.
"What if...?"
21. What if dragons don’t hoard treasure because they like gold, but because they can’t stand
people arguing over it?
22. What if the reason the moon looks bigger some nights is because it’s actually moving closer,
just to see what the mortals are up to?
23. What if the reason magic works is because the universe is too embarrassed to say no?
24. What if the real reason vampires live forever is because no one’s ever invited them to leave?
25. What if the reason wizards have long beards isn’t wisdom, but just because they keep
forgetting to cast a shaving spell?
