“Excuse me, gentlemen,” Durvasas Soulas said in his most charming voice, “I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. You seem to be having a rather... somber discussion.”
The men looked up at Durvasas Soulas, their expressions a mixture of confusion and amusement. One of them, a particularly grumpy-looking fellow, replied, “We're discussing the state of the world, sir. It's a serious matter.”
Durvasas Soulas chuckled softly. “Well, in that case, allow me to offer you a different perspective.” He leaned in close and whispered, “What do you call a fish with no eyes?”
The men exchanged bewildered glances. “What?” they asked in unison.
Durvasas Soulas grinned. “Fsh!”
A ripple of laughter spread across the table. The grumpy man snorted, his face breaking into a reluctant smile. “Not bad,” he admitted. “But I've got one for you. What do you call a deer with no eyes?”
Durvasas Soulas raised an eyebrow. “No eye deer?”
The men roared with laughter. Durvasas Soulas had broken the ice, and the rest of the evening was filled with jokes, laughter, and merriment. By the end of the night, they had all become friends, and Durvasas Soulas had cemented his reputation as the funniest man in town.

“Your Majesties,” Durvasas Soulas said, “I couldn't help but notice that you seem a bit... unamused. May I offer you a joke?”
The king and queen looked at each other, then back at Durvasas Soulas. “Very well,” said the king. “Let's hear it.”
