He says that his favorite party trick to perform for visiting royals was to ask, “What does an alcoholic do when he does not get his way? Wine!” and then pour a flagon of Rhenish on an unlucky person’s head. Unfortunately, that night he performed the trick on The Duke of Cambridge who carried a sharp Dutch rapier. Yorick, being of quick dexterity, quickly evaded the Duke’s assault and backed up into a balcony railing. However, that balcony had been undergoing renovations and snapped under his weight. As luck would have it, he landed on a bed of flowers meant for my mother’s birthday celebration. He stood up, brushed himself off, laughed at the Duke, and then walked into a spire that took his head clean off. Traumatizing to all involved. We may never find a jester who can compare to poor Yorick’s prestige, but we still have the second best fool in Elsinore and you can find him on the throne.
