Power of the pen (Part I) Joke

The head of the Swedish Luthern Church was in America for a religious conference. He had been warned that when he arrived in the United States he would have to watch what he said to the reporters, as they were notorious for their ability to twist statements around to give them different meanings.
Vowing to be careful, the bishop was ready and not alarmed when a sizable group of newsman met him at the dock and one of them asked, ‘Do you intend to visit any nightclubs in New York?’
The bishop smiled benignly and asked, ‘Are there any nightclubs in New York?’ But the next morning when he opened his paper he realized what the warnings had meant, for the headlines read:
‘HORNY BISHOP ASKS: ARE THERE ANY NIGHTCLUBS IN NEW YORK?’ -

There was a jester who amused the king greatly with his many witty jokes, puns and wordplays, usually poking fun at the rival kings and knights.
However, one day, the jester inadvertantly threw a verbal barb at the king. The king was a petty and malicious one, was incensed. Immediately, he ordered the jester to face his biggest and most brutal knight in a fight to the death.
The jester was in a fix. On the jousting grounds, he was ill-equipped to fight the giant hulk of a knight.
However, he went to the field armed only with his wit while the knight was fully armoured and armed atop his armoured charger.
The jester, instead of trying to fight, started shouting out bawdy limericks and wordplay.
The knight, instead of charging and attacking, was reduced to fits of uncontrollable laughter.
Pressing his advantage, the jester kept at it with the bawdy jests... so much so that the knight fell off his horse in a surge of mirth and crashed to his death.
The jester was proclaimed the winner and survived.
Moral of the story: The PUN is mightier than the sword..
muaahahahahhaha
