You were: The
Court Jester!
You entertained the best.
You were utterly hilarious and they kept asking you for more…however, were they laughing with you or at you? That is the question.
Now, you devote most of your life to being funny. Your friends think you’re a “right laugh”, and if you have to extend to being utterly stupid every now and again to keep that label, then you will.
Stop it. It’s not necessary. Falling over is no longer funny, understand???
