The joke that Armstrong didn't tell Neji:
So a Xingian, an Ishvarite, and an alchemist all walk into a bar. They all sit down and they each order a mug of plain water.
The other two look at the Ishvarite and ask, "So what's up with this? Why come to a bar if you're going to order just water?"
And the Ishvarite answers, "We are forbidden by our God to drink the produce of wheat or grape, so I must make do with water."
So he turned to the Xingian and asks, "But what about you? You're not of my faith, why'd you order water?"
And the Xingian smiles, then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a little pouch. He shakes it into his water, and lo and behold, it turns into a mug of foaming beer.
"In my country, we have methods of changing plain water into beer. As long as I bring these with me, I never have to pay for beer, only for the water."
The alchemist snorts contemptuously and says, "That's nothing. Look at this!"And he stands up at the table, pulls down his pants, and pisses into his mug of water.
Then he draws an array on the table, puts the mug in it, and puts his hand next to it; there's a flash of light, and his mug is filled with foaming beer.
He sits down, and takes a huge gulp of beer without hesitation. The other two are so impressed, they have to toast him.
A little later on, when they're halfway through their cups, the Ishvarite gets around to asking the alchemist, "So what's this method you use to transmute beer out of plain water? Since it doesn't involve the produce of wheat or grapes, it wouldn't really be forbidden by my faith. I'd really like to know how you did it."
"Oh," says the alchemist, "It was easy. All I had to do was to use the array to switch the contents of my mug with his."
