the pen is mightier than the sword....
time for a gag

A court jester pleased the King with witty stories and was rewarded by the King for his many witty puns.
Until one day, he insulted the King with a ditty and was punished. The King commanded the jester to face his most powerful knight in battle. That would be severe punishment as the knight was 7 foot tall, 375 pounds of pure muscle with a mean streak.
The jester was doomed. Or so it seemed.
On the day of the battle, the knight was all kitted up with weapons on his armoured charger. The jester, was in his normal goofy outfit and unarmed. The jester seemed fated to die a horrible death.
However, being unarmed and unencumbered by heavy armour, the jester skipped around, avoiding the charging knight, all the while shouting silly puns at the knight. After a while, the knight stopped and started to laugh. Pressing his advantage, the jester turned the silly puns into bawdy puns, and the knight was wracked with convulsions of laughter, so much so that he fell from his armoured mount, had a concussion and died.
The jester was spared because of his quick wit.
Moral of the story: The PUN is mightier than the sword

heh heh heh
