Tyrion's line in the recent Game Of Thrones episode about bringing a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel may have rung a few bells for some people. It has appeared twice before in the show. Once, in season 1, in the scene where Tyrion is on trial in the Vale.
Then again in episode 8 of season 6.
Here's the clip from the finale

So what's the rest of the joke? The answer is out there, and here it is:
Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?

Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well... she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one's not so bad eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!!!
There you have it. A bit of a dwarf-centric joke but good for a chuckle nonetheless.
