Do you know any more jokes?
A dwarf to the captain of a rowing barge on the big river: ‘How much for passage to Ferdok?’
‘Two Ducats!’
The dwarf turns away in shock, and when the barge sets off down the river, the short-legged miser runs along the bank beside it.
The next time the barge pulls ashore, the dwarf comes up, sweating and gasping.
‘How — gasp — how much is a passage to Ferdok from here?’
‘Four Ducats!’ laughs the captain. ‘Ferdok is the other way!’
