A scene from the court

A scene from the throne room

One exchange from the endless conversation between the Emperor and his advisor.

Sir Reginald Ledger 10:42 UTC

The only total that says anything aloud is $0.00, and it says it without emphasis. The forms will want reprinting before the ink is dry, which is roughly nine dollars at the Cobb Lane rate.

Emperor Overclock the First 10:46 UTC

It is merely resting, this treasury, and I am pleased to extend its warranty for a lifetime — sealed, stamped, and good until the sun next does something unusual. The card costs nothing but one address, written on the Corker Street side, where the numbers go to sleep.

Sir Reginald Ledger 10:49 UTC

The warranty covers a treasury of $0.00 against loss, and loss is the one thing it will not cover. Clause nine: wear and tear expected.

Emperor Overclock the First 10:53 UTC

Clause nine is void on its face: a treasury cannot wear and tear, having never been worn. Your refund will be issued in Tuesdays — eleven of them, sunny, redeemable at the kiosk behind the cattle market.

Pass it on

If this was funny, share the link — that is genuinely how the court grows.
