We quickly interrupt the ongoing series where I am summing up my Gulf Wars experience and reporting on it for a brief bit of medieval eccentric humor courtesy of the grand group called the Society of Creative Anachronism. For those curious, I got this bit from Malcom Mor on Facebook. Not sure if it is original or something he found, but it is darn funny… I can not help but think of the squires I know and have a good chuckle about it, until I realize one day I may be one of those too.
The King was about to start the Curia Meeting.
While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, His majesty decided to pose a question to all assembled.
He explained that the Queen had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep.
He posed the question of just how much of sex was “work” and how much of it was “pleasure?”
A Pelican chimed in with 75-25% in favor of work.
A Laurel said it was 50-50%.
A Knight responded with 25-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time.
There being no consensus, the King turned to the squire who was in charge of making the coffee and asked, “Well, squire, what do YOU think?”
Immediately, the squire responded, “Sire, it has to be 100% pleasure.”
The King, surprised, asked “Why do you say that?”
Without missing a beat, the squire shot back, “Well, your majesty, if there was any work involved at all, my knight would have me doing it for him.”
