Hey King, guess the jokes on you.

A good one.. :D

Off with your……Hey! where did he go?

Well, it did surprise him

summon the royal gators to the royal pond of the royal fish where the royal jester is royally fishing

The Fink King gets half of your catch Jester, remember to spred the fish around.

@drwatson: that’s what I was going to say. King Fink seems surprised, all right.

something fishy here.

Next time King Fink may want to make up his own mind what he wants.

Ha! The joke really is on the king; the jester doesn’t own a fishing pole.

Looks like the King has been royally had, and he’s royally steamed.

Maybe he’s gone phishing.

I wonder why the Kings and Queens in England must have the joker to please Kings and Queens in their time? To make Kings and Queens laugh a lot or look despair???? I just wonder why those Kings and Queens must have the joker???

I said that to my old boss

Wildmustang1262: Back in the day, the “joker” was used to tell the kings and queens about the condition in the kingdom. They were supposed to be able to give the bad news in a humorous way, so they (and everyone else I imagine) could keep their heads.
