I like both demiurge1138's and DungeonmasterCal's jokes. I mulled them both over for a while and what I came to was this: DMC's felt like more "joke-like" whereas demiurge's seemed more like a parable. Sort of a "bit me once, shame on you. bit me twice, shame on me" homage. In this instance I must give the nod to DMC.

But you can bet I'll be thinking of demiurge the next time I spot the elusive "blue mamba"!

Both demiurge1138 and DungeonmasterCal used the punchline very cleverly, I thought, and their jokes were fairly subtle rather than laugh-out-loud.
Since I read them both at work, that's much appreciated! Knowing the punchline ahead of time worked against demiurge1138's entry, because it telegraphed very strongly where it was going early on. DungeonmasterCal's entry, on the other hand, managed to surprise me at the end. I'll give the vote to him by a very thin margin.

Both were good uses of the punchline. demiurge1138's joke felt more like a parable than a joke, though. It was clever but not "ha ha" funny. DungeonmasterCal's, OTOH, made me laugh out loud. The thought of an ettin on jury duty cracked me up. DMC gets my vote.
