Michael the Dragon Master was an official in King Arthur’s court. He had a long-standing obsession with getting unusually close to the beautiful Queen, but he knew that acting on this desire would mean certain death. One day, he revealed his secret wish to his colleague, Horatio, who was the King’s chief physician.

Horatio said, “I can arrange it, but I will need 1,000 gold coins to pay the necessary bribes.”

Michael the Dragon Master readily agreed.

The next day, Horatio prepared a special itching lotion. While the Queen was taking a bath, he secretly placed a small amount of it in her clothing. Soon after she dressed, the itching began and quickly became unbearable.

When Horatio was called to the royal chambers, he told the King that only a special remedy could cure the Queen’s unusual condition. He further explained that, according to his tests, the only person capable of providing the remedy was Michael the Dragon Master.

King Arthur summoned Michael and issued an imperial command.

Michael secretly placed the antidote Horatio had given him into his mouth. For the next four hours, he dutifully followed the King’s instructions and helped relieve the Queen’s terrible itching.

Satisfied that his secret ambition had finally been fulfilled, Michael returned to his chamber, where he found Horatio waiting and demanding payment.

However, now that his obsession had been satisfied, Michael refused to pay Horatio anything. He simply sent him away, knowing that Horatio could never reveal what had happened without getting himself into serious trouble with the King.

The next day, Horatio decided to get his revenge. He secretly placed a massive dose of the same itching lotion into King Arthur’s royal clothing.

Before long, the King was desperately uncomfortable.

Michael the Dragon Master was summoned once again…

And this time, Horatio was waiting for his payment.

Father Thomas was a brand-new priest, and the weight of his very first Sunday mass was crushing him. He was so nervous he could hardly string two sentences together during his morning prayers. Sensing the young man’s panic, the seasoned Monsignor O’Malley pulled him aside with a conspiratorial wink.

“Father, when I get nervous on the pulpit, I have a little trick,” the Monsignor whispered. “I keep a small glass of vodka right next to the holy water. If I start to tremble, I just take a small sip. It works wonders.”

Grateful for the lifeline, Father Thomas decided to take the advice. The following Sunday, he stood behind the pulpit, his heart hammering against his ribs. He reached over, poured a splash of vodka, and took a sip. The warmth spread through his chest, and his nerves instantly vanished. Emboldened, he took another sip. Then, just to be safe, he finished the glass.

He proceeded to deliver the most energetic, impassioned, and utterly unhinged sermon the parish had ever heard. He talked up a storm, pacing the altar with the confidence of a revivalist preacher.

Feeling incredibly proud of his performance, Father Thomas returned to his office after mass, loosening his collar with a satisfied sigh. But as he opened his door, he found a crisp, handwritten note slipped neatly onto his desk. It was from the Monsignor.

With a trembling hand, Father Thomas read the list:

1. Sip the vodka, Father, don’t gulp it.
2. There are 10 Commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. Jesus was crucified, not constipated.
5. Jacob wagered his donkey; he did not bet his ass.
6. We do not refer to Jesus Christ as “the late J.C.”
7. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are not “Daddy, Junior, and the Spook.”
8. David slew Goliath; he did not kick the living daylights out of him.
9. When David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, do not say he was “stoned off his ass.”
10. We do not refer to the cross as the “Big T.”
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper, He said, “Take this and eat it, for it is my body.” He did *not* say, “Eat me.”
12. The Virgin Mary is not referred to as “Mary with the Cherry.”

The European train rattled through the countryside, its four passengers settled into a private compartment for the long journey ahead. They were an unlikely group: Madame Dubois, a wealthy seventy-five-year-old widow draped in the finest furs and diamonds, sat with perfect posture on one side. Next to her was Sophie, a stunning nineteen-year-old who looked like she’d just stepped off the cover of Vogue, scrolling through her phone with casual elegance.

Across from them sat Sergeant Major Thompson, a battle-hardened military man in his late forties with a chest full of medals and a no-nonsense demeanor. Beside him fidgeted Private Miller, a fresh-faced recruit still adjusting to the rigid discipline of army life, clearly intimidated by his superior officer.

For the first hour, they exchanged polite small talk—weather, destinations, the occasional observation about the passing scenery. But as the train approached a long mountain tunnel, the conversation faded. The lights flickered once, then died completely as they plunged into pitch darkness.

For several minutes, the only sound was the rhythmic clacking of the wheels. Then, suddenly, the silence was broken by two distinct sounds: a loud, unmistakable *smack* of a kiss, followed immediately by a sharp, echoing *slap*.

The four strangers sat frozen in the darkness, each one’s mind racing with their own interpretation of events.

Madame Dubois sat with a satisfied little smile, thinking, *”How wonderful. Even in this modern age, there are still young women with self-respect and dignity who won’t tolerate inappropriate behavior.”*

Sophie sat puzzled, her brow furrowed in confusion, wondering, *”Why on earth would any man want to kiss that old woman when I’m sitting right here?”*

Sergeant Major Thompson sat seething, his jaw clenched, rubbing his stinging cheek and thinking, *”The absolute audacity. Some woman actually thought she could sneak a kiss on a decorated officer in the dark and get away with it.”*

And Private Miller sat in the corner, grinning from ear to ear in the darkness, thinking to himself:
“What a crazy world this is. A private can kiss the back of his own hand, smack a Sergeant Major in the face, and get away with it completely!”

Brenda sat at her desk, rubbing her temples in sheer frustration. For the past week, her morning coffee breaks had become an absolute nightmare. Every single day, without fail, a male coworker would wait for her at the breakroom coffee machine. The moment she poured her cup, he would step uncomfortably close, lean in, take a deep, audible sniff, and say, “Your hair smells really nice.”

By Friday, the sheer awkwardness was driving her crazy. She couldn’t take it anymore. She marched straight to Human Resources to file a formal grievance.

The HR manager, a patient woman named Diane, looked over the paperwork, thoroughly puzzled. “Brenda, I want to help, but I need to understand the severity here,” Diane said gently. “What exactly is threatening about a coworker simply telling you that your hair smells nice? Is he touching you? Is he making explicit comments?”

Brenda shivered, wrapping her cardigan tighter around herself as the memory replayed in her mind.

“No, Diane,” Brenda whispered, her eyes wide. “It’s not what he says. It’s just… it’s Roger. The guy who’s only four-foot-two.”

It was a bright, breezy Saturday afternoon, and Mark and Sarah decided to treat themselves to a relaxing, no-judgment day at a local clothing-optional beach. The sun was shining, the waves were gentle, and the atmosphere was wonderfully laid-back.

As they strolled along the shoreline, Mark couldn’t help but notice that some of the other women sunbathing nearby were significantly more “well-endowed” than his wife. Ever the curious (and slightly cheeky) husband, he nudged Sarah and asked, “Honey, how come some of the women here are, well… a little more generously built than you?”

Sarah didn’t miss a beat. She adjusted her sunglasses, flashed him a knowing, confident grin, and said, “Oh, that’s easy, darling. The bigger they are, the sillier the person.”

Mark chuckled, thoroughly satisfied with this highly flattering explanation, and they continued their walk.

A little farther down the beach, the tables turned. Sarah noticed several men strolling by who appeared to be much more “gifted” than her husband. Raising an eyebrow, she nudged him and asked with a playful smirk, “So, what about them? What’s the rule there?”

Without missing a beat, Mark puffed out his chest and replied, “Same rule, my love. The bigger they are, the sillier the person.”

They both laughed, enjoying the clever, mutually beneficial logic of their little agreement, and continued their peaceful walk.

A few minutes later, however, Sarah’s attention was caught by a scene up ahead. She looked over and noticed her husband had stopped to chat with a stunning, incredibly voluptuous woman across the beach. They were deep in conversation, and Mark was laughing a little too enthusiastically.

Sarah watched them for a moment, crossed her arms, and called out with a sweet, razor-sharp smile:
“Well, Mark… the longer you stand there talking to her, the sillier you seem to be getting!”
