Discovered in the Darkus Humorcon, a text of infinitely evil comedy. It took 12 elves working eight months to safely translate the following "Killer Joke" without succumbing (and remember, elves have no sense of humor):
Two rangers are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. His half-orc companion isn't sure what to do, so he pulls out an emergency crystal ball to contact a cleric friend back in the city.
He gasps, "My companion is dead! What can I do?" The cleric responds, "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a moment of silence over the crystal ball, then a loud "thud" is heard. The half-orc comes back to the cleric and reports: "OK, now what?"
((Print this joke and pass it off as a "scroll" to be found in treasure. If the player can read it without laughing, his character has passed an undefined DC against instant death. Cracking a grin means he's merely insane for a while.))
