The second of three times that Tyrion tries to tell his story of bringing a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel. His first attempt was part of his "confession" to Lysa Arryn in A Golden Crown (2011), and every time he is interrupted and never finishes the story. The joke is probably about a dwarf asking for a lady to lie with since his own wife has left him. When asked about the jackass and honeycomb, he tells about a genie granting him three wishes, so his first was to give his wife a home fit for a queen; the genie gave her a honeycomb. His second wish was for her to have the finest ass in the land, so the genie gave her a donkey. His third wish was for his "tool" to hang down past his knees, so the genie shrunk his legs and turned him into a dwarf.
