The Bar Joke

Read The Bar Joke

Four guys were sitting in a bar, two brunettes, a red head, and a blonde (actually, Fingon, Turgon, Maedhros and Finrod).

Turgon asked, "If you could pass down three bits of wisdom throughout the Ages, what would they be?”

Grinning, Fingon lifted his glass, “I do not believe in conventional wisdom.”

Maedhros clicked his glass against Fingon’s, answering, “I’ll drink to that.”

Finrod said, “You’re right. I’ll drink with you.”

“Wait a minute, Ingo,” Fingon said. “You wrote that Athrabeth thing."

“I admit it,” said Finrod, slurring his words. “But that wath before I wath killed by a werewolf.”

“You are all a bunch of miserable cynics. I expected better of you, Finrod,” Turgon choked.

Fingon said, “You’re such an ass.”

Maedhros slapped Turgon on the back. “S’alright, Turvo. I forgive you. You didn’t live long enough to hear yourself called Turgon the Wise by the historians.”

This was great! I was reading it again and laughing. Just what I needed to lift my spirits after reading the climax of Chalice. I don't like Turgon (except when he stars in weird pairings in Jdav's stories) . Finrod is cute when drunk! Maedhros's parting shot was too good :D

In short, this is really and truly funny. Love Fingon mentioning the Athrabeth. Thanks for writing! Have you ever read Perelleth's The True Story of Amárië and Finrod? I'm not implying anything, honestly; I just think you might enjoy it if you have not already read it.
