But Asmus *did* have the sense to promote him in the end…<br /><br />Katherine, it's all that and a scary amount of pollen in the spring! That particular line was a joke quite popular in my youth… I guess that's the advantage of being older than most of my readers, I can recycle those corny old jokes and now they're fresh!Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-83850421956903005012012-03-24T20:00:46.163-04:002012-03-24T20:00:46.163-04:00Lovely little tale with a couple of good puns.

I think the "clever servant" meme appeals since we can often identify better with the servants than the lordlings, no?<br /><br />Thanks, Icy! I was hoping the humor would go over well.<br /><br />John, you missed the joke. She was going to pour the juice into his hand, thus staining his palm. :-D<br /><br />Michael, I wouldn't want to have to explain the "special favors" to a six year old!
