 Two Orcs stagger to a bar and sit on adjacent chairs. The barman is busy polishing glasses and overhears their conversation.

One Orc turns to the other and says, "Hi fellow Orc, where are you from?"

The other Orc turns glassy eyes to his fellow and says "Mordor."

"Wow," replies the first Orc. "That's a coincidence. I'm from Mordor too." He looks perplexed and asks, "What year were you born?" His words slurred from drink.

"1970," replied the other Orc.

"Wow, me too. My mother's name was Marga."

"Mine too," the other Orc replied in astonishment.

The barman shook his head and sighs. A waitress asks him what is wrong.

"It's going to be a long night," he replies, "The Marga twins are back and drunk again."
