All his life J.J. was known as the village brave tough guy, so when the killer lion decided to go down there and anchor in that beautiful famous cave near the village, the villagers naturally asked and begged him to hunt down the lion.J.J. accepted and the next morning the villagers gathered in front of the big gate prayed for him and thanked him and every one gave him something to use in the fight, the baron armored him,his uncle gave him one of those very big swords, and some vidow gave him her late husband's spear, and a Viking sailor who had repented,had gave up killing and looting for good and had married the miller's daughter, gave J.J. his axe and his big roung shield; even the one eyed peddler,the pot seller who was just passing through hugged him,with wet eyes, kissed him and put a helmet on his head; said in his ear:"can't be too careful,eh! put it on in case the lion decides to chew your head.The bastard has done this before you know."
J.J. thanked them all and... Anyway to make it really short:
They opened the gate and J.J. ran out shouting and farting all the way.A shepherd stopped him and asked:"What's the matter sir, why are you shouting so loud?"
"To frighten the lion."
"The Lion... I see... OK,why are you farting non stop then?"
"Because I'm frightened too."
