"I told you-no eating fish on the market!" shouted a market woman.
"Well I'm the king, and I order you to give me this fish!" replied King Arthur. He was standing in front of a market in the middle of nowhere. "We are going to Camelot, and we need a refreshment!"
"Sire, you call this a refreshment?" said one of his knights, Sir Robin. Instantly his comrades started singing,
"Sir Robin was brave and chickened out
Instead he went to find a trout
He was hungry-"
"STOP THAT ALREADY!" shouted Sir Robin. His comrades glared at him in unison, if that's possible.
"Yes it IS a refreshment, Sir Robin the not-quite-so-brave-as-Launcelot!" replied the King to his previous question.
"Sir Robin will never be as brave
He'll never be like Launcelave!"
"STOP IT!" bellowed Sir Robin.
"I also told you-no bellowing on the market!" was the market-woman's answer to all of this.
"Sir Robin, you really ought to give your comrades some fun," said Sir Lancelot, who was quite alright with nobody being as brave as him.
"Anyway, O peasant-woman, we seek the Holy Fish!" With that, all of the knights started glaring at their king.
"Well if that's the Holy Fish, IT'S MINE!" And with that, the peasant-woman grabbed the fish and ran off.
"Follow her, lads!" ordered King Arthur.
"Hey! We're not lads, we're Brave Knights!" Sir Lancelot had wounded pride.
"We will be the knights who say Shmabbergaster!" shouted Sir Robin's comrades/knights. "Shmabbergaster! Shmabbergaster! Shmabbergaster! Shmabbergaster! Shmabbe-"
"Stop annoying us, will you!" exclaimed Sir Robin.
"Anyway: Follow her, Knights who say Shmabbergaster!"
"Aye-aye, sir!"
"HALT!"
As all of the knights scrambled to obey his order, (for I could not say orders, because there was only one order not two or more "GET ON WITH IT!") all of them fell on top of one another, King Arthur at the bottom, creating the image of a pile of stupid, dead knights.
As it so happened, Arthur scrambled out from under the pile of knights first, him not wanting to stay looking like a pile of stupid, dead knights (who were also resting while at it).
"You will not act like pirates!" he said.
"Aye-aye, sir! We are not pirates!"
"Not acting like pirates includes not saying 'Aye-aye, sir'!"
"But what's wrong with saying 'Aye-aye, sir'?" asked one of Sir Robin's comrades.
"YOU JUST SAID IT!" bellowed King Arthur, his voice echoing throughout the hills of England. There was a moment before Sir Robin's comrade said,
"But you said it beforeā¦!"
"SILENCE!" Another moment of not saying anything reigned.
