Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for August 21, 2020

Was this sporting event approved by the Board of Health ?

I guess we’re not worrying about blood-born illnesses, now.

That’s a fair request.

He’s joust kidding.

It was the knight’s errant.

So, that’s why they use those long pointy sticks – to maintain social distancing.

How long do you stay fresh in that can?

ROFL! The virus is mightier than the sword!

Because the knight, his face is covered

Because the knight, hes got to right

Because the knight, he’s covered twice

Makes me believe chivalrys alive.

Apoligies to Bruce Springsteen and The Patti Smith Group, but not 10,000 Maniacs

The sword is a gauge for social distancing.

Sneeze in his face, then run away!

They should team up and fight the virus instead

Fencing is a perfect covid sport. There is a mask and gloves and if you het to close you get stabbed

*get

Approaching knights would raise their face shield with their weapon hand to show their face to their fellow knight so they could recognize each other and as an sign of non-agression.

From this, the military salute evolved.

LOL! you’re standing too close anyways…

Cease dragon thy feet..go get thy mask.

Broad swords at 6 feet!

Yea, if your gone to kill someone make sure they have a mask on.

If he won’t, get the two-handed broadswords for proper social distancing. Scottish Claymores should do.

It has been hours and not a single “Holy Grail” reference. I am disappointed.

But I already has a visir.
