Humor - irony

Part of chapter 21 done; 37320 words
Writer's tip:
One pattern of humor is two straight sentences and then the unexpected twist.
Example:
My dog chews leather shoes.
Old ones?
No, I think the mailman's shoes are new.
I can't give you the exact sentences from chapter 21 one where I used this pattern. It would give too much away. It did involve a sword and a nightshirt.
