Greetings! I'm the Fool. No, not the "unwise" kind, nor indeed the

"gooseberry dessert" kind, but rather the "court jester" kind. That is, the

only man who can speak his mind in the presence of important (or at least

self-important) people, & be as risky and insulting as he likes, and if anyone

gets upset with him, he can simply claim, "I'm only joking!"

But the Jester has made his point.
