Robin Hood and the Miracle of Nottingham Castle, Part Deux

One basic realization I had about PJs was that the build-up is as important as the punchline. You gotta build up the anticipation, build up the sense of impending doom, as is with most listeners, or should I say, victims! That is why this joke is unique, it's the sequel to the original Robin Hood joke. In case you haven't read it, you can find it here. I would advise you to read the previous one because otherwise there's no point reading this sequel..

So Robin missed the first time. He wasn't happy about it. After all, he was supposed to be one of the best archers in the country, couldn't he hit a guy on a wall?! So he thought, 'I'm not letting this guy go, where are my arrows??'. He was out, so once again the Bengali merry man comes up and offers a female, unmarried arrow to Robin. A quick roll of the eyes later, realizing he had no choice, he aimed at the guy. The previous miss came flashing back to his mind. He was angry. He wanted the sentry dead. He fires. Unfortunately, there was a sudden gust of wind, which blew the arrow way off course. It headed away from where the sentry was standing, towards the outer walls of the castle. There it went, but as fate would have it, there was a guard who had just got up and was on his first round. It hit the guard square on the head but since he was wearing a good helmet, it bounced off, apparently without causing much damage. BUT, from the shock of the arrow hitting the guy's helmet, the guard instantly dies. The arrow, a light supple arrow, which didn't pierce the helmet, killed the guy. The question... HOW?!?!




[ Answer coming up ]





The arrow was female. Tiri.
The arrow was unmarried. Mistiri.
BUT the arrow had no AIM (read M). Istiri.
So if an Istiri comes at you from that far out and hits you on the head, it's not good news man, you have little chance of living.

More weirdness later.
