The Summoner

An ogre looms over a man and says “Why have you summoned me, oh man?”

the man, looking up at the ogre: I, uh, didn't. I was just smoking weed and listening to metal. I even lit a candle to cover the smell.

the ogre: You played the infernal cords, burned the sacred herbs, and lit the unholy candle.

man: aw man those emails my aunt keeps forwarding me were right

Ghost Rider: If it ends this conversation, yes.
Blackheart: Why is this room always so cold?
Mephisto: Don’t touch the thermostat.
