Too short to post. Too good to forget.

The chicken, the bomb and the tree.

Thunderous laughter filled the Golden Oaks library.

"Ha ha ha, I didnt realize you were so funny, fluttershy," Twilight Sparkle remarked. "Oh, my sides hurt."

"Your next Pinkie," Spike said from is spot entirely to close to Rarity.

"Okay, okay," The cotton candy pony picked herself up and wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes. "So, a unicorn walks into a bar. The barcolt says, 'Hay there. you look," She paused as everypony listened intently, "horny."

Everypony except Twilight and Rarity fell to the floor laughing. Rarity stuck her nose in the air and huffed.

Twilight just stared. "I don't git it," she said in utter befuddlement.

"Horny, Twi," Applejack provided. "Yu' know, cuse you got a horn and your..." she tried to hold the giggle in until she finished her explanation but failed catastrophically, falling into a new bout of painful hyperventilation.

several seconds of giggles/confusion latter spike recovered enough to pick the next jokester. "Alright, Rainbow your next."

"Oh, gees, um," Dash tapped her hoof on her chin in thought. "Okay I got one. Why did the Chicken cross the road?" she paused briefly. "To try and get frog cutiemark!"

Silence prevailed for several awkward seconds, save for near inaudible giggling from Fluttershy, before Twilight spoke up. "Rainbow, you shouldn't call Scootaloo a chicken, its really mean," she chided. "You know she actually has a medical condition don't you?"

"Wow, wow. chill Twi," Dash said, holding her hooves up defensively. "This has nothing to do with her wing problem. She lives in Fluttershy's hen house with Derpy."

Twilight was stunned; all this time she thought ponies called Scootaloo a chicken to make fun of her wings, but she lived in a hen house? "Are you serious?"

Flitter shy piped up. "Oh, yes. Scootaloo, Derpy, Rainbow and I have poker nights with the chickens on Fridays, you should come!"

"Um..." Twilight was at a loss, this was possibly the strangest thing she had ever heard and Pinkie Pie had nothing to do with it. "Ok, why not, I'm free this Friday night. Can Spike come to?"

"Oh yay." Flutter shy clopped her hooves together. "I'll ask Henrietta to go easy on you, she can get a little competitive. Oh and Elisabeek is going to be joining us, to, i think." She squeed. "This is going to be so much fun!"
