1st jester and new sidekick joke

[pat]

The car was pulled over by a highway patrolman for speeding. As the officer was writing the ticket, he noticed several machetes in the car. "What are those for?" he asked suspiciously. "I'm a jester," the man replied. "I use those in my act." "Well, show me," the officer demanded.

The jester took out the machetes and started juggling them; first three, then more until he was tossing seven at one time, overhand, underhand, behind the back, putting on a dazzling show in the breakdown lane and amazing the officer.

Just then, the jester?s sidekick drove past. He did a double take, and said, "My gosh. I've got to give up drinking! Look at the test they're giving now."

Well, I guess taste is an acquired taste.

I am thrown, though, like a machete into the air, by the antecedents mentioned herein.

That being; a he, and a he, and then a third he.  But no she.  

I'm counting a patrolwoman, a Jester (please; it's a proper noun) and a "sidekick."  That would seem to suggest a she, he and he.

So: either, there is a mystery someguy lurking here, and she's missing.  Or; well, I don't know what or.   You know, now I'm wondering what he did with her...  Is she ok?  Is she alright?  Is she still alive...?  Where's the body, if she isn't?  Where's CSI?  Where's Crimestoppers, to call?  

Criminy, where's a cop when you need one?

Maybe it was a stray machete that took her out...  Maybe it was that mysterious "Third Man" who took her out.  Maybe she went out by herself, and isn't dating anyone.

Maybe she'll appear, soon, in a bar in a new joke.  Hey; and where's Bubba in all this?!  Geez Louise, I didn't even notice he's missing, too, in the joke.

Well, that could explain it.  I might've guessed.  No wonder he "dissapears" for lengths of time...

Ace; huh.  I might've known.  No wonder he's served jail time, here.

Huh?
What you talking about?
Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you.

[Ace]

No, it's right there, plain as day.

Right where it says "last edit"....


Ace; I knew you'd try to fix things.  That's just like you.

hey! i have an idea, me be the "Jester Jr."!!! :)

[Ace]

Let's not, and say we didn't.

Hey; here's a new one in the "Pancho and Cisco" vein:

Oh, Oooooooooooodaaaaaiii!

Oh, Quooooooooooosaaaiii!

Ace; I'm not ready to be a senior, dangit.
