A knight's tale...or is it a donkey's tail????

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away. Really, you couldn't wish this land any farther away. There was a king and a knight. But the knight didn't start out as a knight. No...he was originally the court jester. And he kept the king and the royal family in stitches! What was truly amazing was that even though the king and the jester were brothers-in-law, they looked surprisingly like brothers. People in the kingdom started to whisper that perhaps the queen and her sister had, in fact, married brothers. Perhaps that was how the court jester had managed to become a knight when everyone knew that jesters were never knight material.

Finally the brothers, um...I mean, the king and the jester decided to stage a royal--HAIR RAISING--battle. Surely their separate male pattern baldness heads--kind of like fingerprints--would prove to the kingdom that they were NOT brothers in blood but only by marriage. So Princess Shelley got out the royal clippers and went to work, sheering these donkeys--I mean men.



Alas, it was true. Upon closer inspection, one was definitely a much bigger FATHEAD than the other. And the jester, who had been claiming all along that he had more hair than the king, did appear to have a little more fuzz on top, although king thinks it might have been his tan!




The king had no choice but to knight the court jester, since he had won the DUEL OF THE HAIRLESS fair and square and knighted the court jester in a special knighting ceremony held only on rare occasions when in-laws become brothers. BALDY BROTHERS, that is!





Oh yes, and they lived happily ever after!
