how many Dunmer does it take to change a lantern?
just the one....but in the great old days, hundreds of slaves would change thousands of lanterns, at our every whim!

She came home with a red snapper.

OK. So, a Nord who's down on his luck decides to go to Imperial City to see if he can get work there. After a couple of weeks of getting turned down, he resorts to panhandling outside of the city's fanciest hotel.
He's not having much luck with that, either, until a very rich Altmer pulls up in a fancy stretch-coach. As the Altmer gets out of the back, the Nord approaches and him says "Hey, uh, ya wouldn't happen to have a coin or two to spare, would you, b'ye?"
The Altmer looks at the Nord, and smiles. "Say, you're a Nord, aren't you? I'd know that accent anywhere. My wife and I have a little cottage just north of Falreath; we spend every summer there. We love it!"
He continues. "Look, I'll make you an offer. I'll ask you three questions, and if you can answer them, I'll give you a million gold pieces! How does that sound?"
The Nord, being no fool, accepts the challenge.
"All righty then", says the Altmer. "Here's the questions:
1. How many days of the week start with T?
2. How many seconds in a year?
3. How many D's in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?" (go with it)
The Nord whistles and says, "Uh, gee, those questions seem a bit tricky, and I wouldn't want to get them wrong by answering too quickly. Could .. could I have a bit of time with this?"
"Sure," replies the Altmer. "We'll meet back here tomorrow at the same time, and if you have the answers, you'll be a rich man!"
So the Nord spends the night thinking about the questions, and sure enough, the next day the Altmer is there, waiting.
"So, do you have the answers?"
"Sure do!"
"Ok, then, first question. How many days of the week start with 'T'?"
"Oh, that one was easy. Today and Tomorrow."
The Altmer started laughing. "OK, well, you're not really wrong, are you? Next question: How many seconds in a year?"
"Oh, that one was tricky, took me about an hour to figure it out," says the Nord. "The answer is 12."
"12?!" exclaims the Altmer. "How do you figure?"
The Nord says: "Well, there's the second of Morning Star, the second of Sun's Dawn, the second of First Seed ...."
The Altmer howls with laughter. Again, the Nord wasn't really wrong, so he waves it as acceptable. Once he calmed down enough to speak, he asks the third question: "How many D's in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?"
"Oh, my", sighs the Nord. "That was the one that had me up all night. Had to take my shoes and socks off, too. But I got the answer. Exactly 215."
"215!! How did you come up with that!?"
"Like this," says the Nord. "Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee ....." (to the tune of the song).
The Nord went home a rich man!
