Or we've never been in a country in which that's supposed to be funny.

I think that the problem people have is that it should read 'You're Bard'
not 'your Bard'. It gives the joke a VERY different meaning. The way it is written doesn't make sense.

sorry, I still don't think I get it. Is this supposed to have a double meaning or something?

I guess it is really just a pun. Instead of saying 'You're barred' as in not allowed in the bar, it is 'You're bard' as in Haer' Dalis is a Bard.

Ah, I get it now. But I've heard better jokes.

That's priceless Grojlach.

I found the original joke very funny but I guessed it wouldn't 'travel' well
