Oh, thanks a lot. Now I'm going to go to bed with Monty Python running through my head: "Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed."

Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

...

Well you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

I mean, if I went around sayin' I was an empereror just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me they'd put me away!

Oh, go away or I shall taunt you a second time! (Or at least say "Ni" to you.)

But what is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

Oh no, no, no. The correct response is: "What? I don't know that! Aggggggggh!"

After you have been jettisoned off of the Bridge of Death, Sir Bedevere would ask how I know so much about swallows, to which I would have to reply "Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know."

Now it's off to bed for me -- alas, without any of the peril.

I know the right response, but I didn't want to get thrown off a bridge.

Can't i just face a little peril?
