At an exhibition of
the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage.
A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly
in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a
fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's
greatest swordsman.
His blade came down
in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd
was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely,
yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?"
someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the
swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives,
yes - but he will never be a father."
