My all time favorite.

There was this court jester who was a favorite of the king. That is except when the jester made fun of the king. The jester was a master jester and the king was often the butt of the jester's masterpiece puns. It came to a point the king could not stand another pun at his expense. After repeated warnings the king gave the punster one last warning. Either the jester stops all puns and jokes about the king or he would have him hung.

The jester did try but, as it was the one thing he did best, he slipped and punned the king at a large gathering of visiting royalty.

The jester was taken away immediately and put in a cell overnight. The next morning the jester was marched out to the scadfold. The rope was put around his neck and tightened.

Then a king's advisor appeared next to the quaking jester. He read aloud that the king was giving the jester one last chance. He must never utter another joke or pun of any kind. So long as he abide by those rules he shall live and would still be allowed the splendors of the castle.

The jester looked so relieved. When asked what his answer would be the Jester proclaimed, "Whew, no noose is good noose."
