Ask The King of Guilford: Where do fairy tales come from?

Ask The King of Guilford

Where Do Fairy Tales Come From?
    Most fairy tales or rhymes were and are reflections of current society during the time they were written. Humpty Dumpty was about a King.  Ring Around The Rosy was about the Black Death. Jack and Jill also made a political statement. That’s where most of them originate.
    So being a smart guy King, I decided to write a very short fairy tale that could also double as a high school primer, based on our current cultural standards and reading level for the majority of students. The first fairy tale of my book is below.

The King's Modern Fairy Tale High School Primer

I hope you are fine.
I can see my house.
My house sucks.
It only has one x-box.
I see Jane and Dick.
I see Spot the dog.
See Jane run.
See Dick run.
See Spot run.
See Spot lick himself.
"Wish I could do that," Dick says.
"Spot might bite you,” Jane says.
"I mean to myself," Dick says. "I will try now."
See Dick lick himself.
See Jane get sick.
See Mary hire Dick to lick himself at her all female wedding shower.
See the police.
They take Dick, Mary, and her friends home with them.
Mary will not get married to Bob now.
Bob is going to marry Dick.
Mary will marry Jane.
There are no more different sex marriages.
Spot will still lick himself and change lives.
I will take Spot and move to Japan.
Japan is close to Utah.


                                          Spot the Dog needed gentle coaxing to move to Japan.

Drag Your Peasant Through The Creek Days

Image
It's that time of the year again in Guilford, Indiana, where the peasants, like Christmas lights, hang from the trees year round. Every Saturday in September will be the late summer Drag Your Peasant Through The Creek Day. All Guilford residents are eligible to participate. Peasants being dragged must weigh at least 90 pounds and have arms and legs when the contest begins (artificial legs and arms acceptable). Draggers may not drag their wives, husbands, or other immediate family members. No four-wheelers allowed: horses only. The contest will be judged on speed, skips and bounces across boulders, and how much the peasant screams. First place will receive one brand new trained peasant from the Guilford Castle. Second place through last place get free beer and one night (without torture) chained in the Guilford dungeons. The King of Guilford says: "This replaces the annual drop your peasant in the creek day because the twelve-million dollar, two-hundred foot high tower c

King Takes Impossible Jeopardy Test

Image
(This article explains why Alex Trebek no longer has a mustache. He is trying to disguise himself in case he ever slips across the border into Guilford on his way back to Canada. There is a rumor that Alex Trebek has rented a bus to take every actor, comic and politician who says they will leave the country if Trump gets elected...out of the country to Canada or maybe Libya or maybe Saudi Arabia where they can enjoy their lives. They may find life in Mosul right up their alley.) Alex Trebek has been sentenced to death in Guilford under death penalty offense #42173/ Pissing Off the King With A Stupid Online Test. "If he ever comes to Guilford, he will be instantly hanged without trial or ceremony in front of St. Bluebeard Church." The King also announced free admission to all peasants bringing rocks to throw at Trebek. The King is so mad that any peasants who resemble Trebek will also be executed. Anyone in Guilford who isn't bald and has a mustache is in trouble.

How To Get A Politician To Listen To You (Relevant today)

This blue boner will get you attention in DC. How To Get A Politician To Listen To You Price Cut from 14.95 to 8.95 The King of Guilford knows what it's like to be scorned as a dirty peasant; to be told you are one of the "little people" that Judge Ginsberg referred to in a speech. Unless, of course, she meant from the movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People, which the King knows was not in her mind at the time. She was probably waiting for the sound of the simple noise maker pictured above. The King wasn't always a King, and rose from the ranks of peasant after getting drunk and winning a fortune at cards and announcing he was King at three in the morning and challenging anyone in Guilford to dispute his claim. No one came outside so he has been King ever since.  That's why a King backed Guilford company Things That Make Noise  is now selling the Politician M agnet , guaranteed to draw every DC politician to instant attention and listen to wha
