Missive from a Mad Monarch

1jester

Just for laughs.....



Servant of the Dark Mouse who once did pay homage to the Dead King, but who having marched into battle against his most dead highness, having spilt upon the ground of battle with his longsword the blood of the most loyal Kinghts of the Order of the Dead King, bringing shame unto his house, even the House of the Most High Jesters of the Scots who have for many ages brought forth laughter unto the line of the Dead Kings, I bid you greetings from the Aethelthrone.

This plan of yours to add unto your stores those things which are wrought of bronze and copper and brought forth from the clashing together of the most hard dies of steel do indeed please his most Dead Highness. Of the Shillings and Pounds of that purse which I do hold for you shall I pay forth unto the adding of these things.

Let the writ here witnessed by the most noble Kinghts of the order of the Dead King and the wise and elder men of the Aetheland be entered into the Royal Book of Records on this ten and seventh day of the month of December, being the same month in which the last leaves hath fallen from the trees of my lands and the winds blow forth from the north lands, in this most blessed year of our Lord two thousand and the third by orders of the King of all the Aethelands the fathers of whom hath ruled these lands from times forgotten even unto this very day.

How much gray matter do you have left, anyway?

<< <i>How much gray matter do you have left, anyway? >>



That is a good question! My heart still beats without me having to think about it, but that is about it.

so, somebody owes someone some money??

Aethelred

Only for about the next half hour!

1jester

Yeah, Spinaker, you owe me for being your shilling agent.

Please wire the money to the Dead King pronto!

The way I figure it, if aethelred is flatulent and he can still smell it, then he's breathing.
