joke time

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Then there was the medieval court jester who was known far and wide for his ability to make a pun upon any subject at a moment's notice.

Summoned to court, the king asked the jester, 'Is it true what they say - you can pun upon any subject?'

'Yes, Your Majesty. Any subject.'

'Any subject at all?'

'As I said, Sire; any subject.'

'Very well. I command you to make a pun about our royal Self.'

'Ah, Majesty, that I cannot do. For the King, you see, is not a subject.'
