One of my close friends; Actually a childhood friend went out on an expedition.

He came back with the most amazing array of injuries; Scorches all over his body, most of them serious second degree burns. I had to apply salve to them every 2 hours. His ribs were cracked and one of his feet had been fractured.

I was astounded; Where in the world had he acquired such wounds?

His face went dull. His face sank. He sat stiffly in his chair.

I thought he was going to tell me that he had been found by a mafia gang and doused in gasoline and set alight;

His answer gobstopped me.

“I told a dragon a joke; And unfortunately for me, he laughed.”
