I found this today, and had to share...
A mighty Orc warrior walks into a tavern to order a drink, and he notices standing on the keys of a nearby piano was a Gnome. A very short Gnome, short for even for one of his kind. And immediately the Gnome starts running up and down the piano keys, dancing, cartwheeling and somersaulting, flawlessly landing on the correct keys time and time again. The music he produced was incredible. This little gnome was just brilliant!
So astonished, the orc walked up to the bartender and asked, "that little gnome is amazing, where did you get him?"
He looked at the Orc and smiled. "Oh I was given this fancy bottle as payment by one of my customers a while back. Upon polishing it, this genie popped out and offered me a single wish. I've had that little guy ever since. Makes me a fortune."
Very curious now the orc asked if he still has this magic bottle, and is excited when the bartender pulls it out from under the table and offers it to him. "Knock yourself out."
Eagerly he accepts the bottle and starts rubbing it, and just as the bartender had claimed, a genie popped out. The magical being stared at the orc and announced, "you have one wish! Make it now!"
Thinking for a few moments, he decided not to be too greedy and just ask for something he had needed for a while. "Okay, Genie. I wish for a nice new axe!"
"Granted!" he said, clapping his hands the vanishing in a puff of smoke. After the smoke cleared the orc found himself holding a nice new pair of slacks.
Angry now, he glared at the bartender. "What's going on?! I didn't ask for nice new slacks, I asked for a nice new axe!"
He smiled back before replying. "You think I asked for a ten inch pianist?"
AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

| I'd heard this one before, but I'd heard it as one of the regular "Guy walks into a bar..." type of jokes, rather than something set in a fantasy setting. |

Never heard of this one is awfully bad  |

We have similar version of this in the Philippines. Though ours is R-18, so I can't tell what exactly. Suffice it to say it's got to do with certain body parts being explicitly named and "used." |

Can't think of a better place to put these 
A sexy young lady Sharessin Was accosted one day whilst undressin' She said "I'm a virgin But since you are urgin' I'll happily give you my blessin'"
Sharess is a goddess quite blunt Who approves of whatever you want. She wears filmy clothes And damn few of those So you can get a good look at her.
A Banite all black-clad and drear Said "This so isn't me, oh my dear! I really like flowers And wearing tight trousers And swatting young men on the rear."
Bane is not loving and kind And his worship won't bring peace of mind. His grip's like a vice And you won't feel nice With his black hand stuck up your behind.
One Waukeenite priestess, Ivana, Was haggling o'er a banana. "Yes it is just a fruit But you have so much loot That I'll charge you whatever I wanna."
Tyr isn't much of a hater - He wants justice now and not later. He's really a charmer All dolled up in that armour And he's shacked up with Helm and Ilmater.
Shaundakul is the god of my feet And what I do when I walk down the street. But it's Beshaba I call When I slip and I fall And my journey ends up on my seat.
The drow goddess know as Eilistraee, Has a dark and unfortunate history. Her followers dance With no shirt and no pants - Why I love her is not such a mystery.
Lady Sune has lovely red hair - And I'd like to propose you a dare... My friends say it's dyed But nobody has tried To confirm it by checking down there.
A priest with his wife in their room Was unable to give her his boon, So he prayed to his deity With lust more than piety And now it is granted too Sune.
The drow live in the Underdark Which is not quite a walk in the park. Don't call an Ilharess A word like elg'caress Or her whip will leave rather a mark.

| …which reminds me of the elf (!) on a LARP-Event tossing a copperpiece over to a drow female (!)(don't recall a title but her position was high enough to have two drow warriors at her command). All he said (loudly…) was "For last night!" – and gone he was. The three Drow were so surprised that it took them a second to realize what had just happened – which saved the life of that elf. ;) |
I've lost track of recent realmslore, since my campaigns are still in the 1370ies. :-) --- When talking about rules (and related stuff) I always refer to 3.5e unless explicitly noted. |

Oh a joke one has to decipher is a bad one. Could make a good puzzle though. Even after figuring it out, was not worth even a chuckle from me. Of course others clearly understood it quicker and laughed long. |
"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards." "Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding. "After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

At times though, it's not the joke itself that makes it funny, but the delivery. |

I've found that sometimes, you don't even have to deliver the joke -- just point out that there's room for a joke, and let people think of their own. There are times that works better than making the joke yourself.  |

Given, of course, that your audience are intelligent enough to decipher the joke. Each jest has its own audience. Contrary to what some people say, there's no such thing as a universal type of joke. |
