Oh dear

The funniest thing happened in Skyrim.

I'd just finished a bunch of dungeons and mini quests and decided I'd gathered enough gold ore for the moment and decided to drop it off at home. I fast travelled back to Lakeview Manor and one of the girls gave me a piece of scathecraw, which was thoughtful of her. While this was happening I noticed a stranger standing over to the east of the house and I thought Oho! Who's this. He was dressed in black mage robes so I thought he might be a necromancer up to no good.

As I approached he ran forward and explained that he was trying to get into the College of Winterhold and would I help him with his magic. Being the helpful kind, I agreed and threw up a ward for him to throw some fireballs at.

"O thanks, I see what I was doing wrong", he said. "Now I'll go and try getting into the College again."

"No worries, good luck", I was about to say but then WHACK! Mjoll the Lioness leapt forward and stuck an ebony battleaxe into his head and that was the end of that. Him tossing fireballs at me had made her hostile and as soon as I exited the conversation, she ended him.

Oh, how I laughed XD

So here he lies, poor unnamed student of magic. See you in Sovngarde, maybe, and I'll pour you a drink.
