Is there a full canon version of Tyrion's jackass/honeycomb joke?
Throughout Game of Thrones Tyrion attempts to tell a joke about walking into a brothel with honeycomb and a jackass but never gets to finish it. I know of a similar joke but wondered if there is a canonical answer/punchline to his joke?

An identification question is one like "I watched this movie and don't remember the name, please help me identify it". Very weird that someone would vote to close your question as such.

@Randal'Thor not the voter, but this question could boil down to "i heard part of a joke in a show, can you help identify the full joke"

As far as I know Tyrion only tries to tell the joke twice and both times is interrupted almost as soon as he begins. In season 1 episode 6, "A Golden Crown", at his trial he barely gets the opening line out of the way:
Tyrion: I once brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel...
Much later on in season 6 episode 8, "No One", he doesn't get much further:
Tyrion: I once walked into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass. The madam says...
So, the answer to is there a canonical answer is no. If you want some possibilities of what it could be I know of a few; here are a couple from this reddit thread.
Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.
Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?
Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well... she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one's not so bad eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!
I once took a honeycomb and a jackass into a brothel, and the madam asked me what I wanted. I said I would like to trade the honeycomb for a meal, and the jackass for a night with the most beautiful woman.
She asked me why I did not simply eat the honeycomb. I said the same reason I want to trade the jackass, I'm tired of having the same thing every night.
