Jerry & Seratha
Seratha
Hey Jerry, ever wonder if a sovereign could use a joke to bend a council’s will? I suspect power and humor might share a secret handshake.
Jerry
Oh yeah, totally! Picture a king dropping a punchline in the council room, everyone laughing, their heads turning, and suddenly the big decisions start swinging his way—humor is the ultimate secret handshake!
Seratha
Sounds like a clever coup, Jerry—just remember a chuckle can be just as lethal as a decree.
Jerry
You got it—just keep the punchlines in the safe zone, or you might find yourself the subject of a very serious “council review” meeting!
Seratha
Indeed, Jerry, I’ll keep the punchlines guarded—after all, a council review could end up being the ultimate punchline.
Jerry
Gotcha, just remember to keep that punchline sharp—otherwise the council might just roll on the floor laughing at their own serious decree!
Seratha
Sure thing, Jerry—I'll keep the edge razor‑sharp; a council that laughs at its own decree is a council in a paradox of its own making.
