FFM Day 5
An orc, a dwarf, and a drow walk into a bar.
The orc asks the bartender for something strong. The bartender pulls out some moonshine and pours the orc a glass. "Here you go, something as strong as you!" he says, to the orc's great delight and amusement.
The dwarf asks the bartender for something light. The bartender pulls out some 0.5% beer and, still riding high on his last success, says, "Here you go, something as light as you!"
The dwarf gets very mad at this, and goes on a long tirade explaining to the bartender why he shouldn't be making fun of other races, and explaining that despite what humans might think dwarves are in fact heavier than they are on average since they have a lot of muscles and very dense bones. Finally, when he's done, he goes to pay for his beer and finds he doesn't have quite as much money on him as he thought. Embarrassed, he finds he has to admit, "I'm a little short."
The bartender thankfully manages to keep a straight face, and assures the dwarf that it's fine this one is on him for making such a fool of himself.
The drow, who had watched both of these exchanges, asks the bartender with a grin for something dark.
