Court Jester
8/1/99
8 January 1999 - COURT JESTER
I've devised a hilarious new routine to get my mirthless king laughing his guts up. I begin by descending from the balcony on a silken thread. I then pretend to search for my lost love, Marie, looking in chests and jars for her.
When I cannot find Marie, I start to cry, at which point my assistant - playing the part of Marie - reveals herself from behind a curtain. Now if that isn't the funniest routine ever devised, then I'm not fit to be called a "court jester".
