18 Things You Didn't Know About Game Of Thrones
2. Why Did You Bring A Jackass And Honeycomb Into A Brothel?
One of the biggest unsolved mysteries in the show isn't the origin of the White Walkers, the identity of chainmail-faced lady in Qarth or how fast ravens can fly in the world of the show. It's what the hell Tyrion did in a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.
We all know that Tyrion is a lecherous drunk but we can't even imagine what plans he had for the prostitutes with these items. Maybe it's like the wet celery and the flying helmet in 'Allo 'Allo: it's probably best we don't know.
Many comedians and fans have searched high and low for an answer though, and one has apparently managed to figure it out: Tyrion enters the brothel to find a woman because his wife left him. She found a genie to grant her three wishes: first, for a home fit for a queen (she was granted the honeycomb), the second wish was for the nicest ass in the land (she got a donkey). Her final wish was for her husband's, aherm…. manhood, to reach past his knees. Tyrion would then say he used to be 6 foot 3.
Now this hasn't been confirmed by anyone connected with the show but this is the most widely accepted version of the story. Perfectly suited to Tyrion's character and pretty damn funny.
