Three Samurai
Back in the time of the Samurai, there was a powerful emperor who needed a new head Samurai. So, he sent out a declaration throughout the country that he was searching for one.
A year passed, and only three Samurai showed up.
The emperor asked the first Samurai to come in and demonstrate why he should be head Samurai.
The Samurai opened a match box and out popped a little fly. Whoosh goes his sword, and the fly drops dead on the ground in 2 pieces.
The emperor exclaimed, "That is very impressive!"
The emperor then asked the second Samurai to come in and demonstrate.
The second Samurai also opened a match box and out popped a fly. Whoosh, whoosh goes his sword. The fly drops dead on the ground in 4 pieces.
The emperor exclaimed, "That is really very impressive!"
The emperor then had the third Samurai demonstrate why he should be the head Samurai. The third Samurai also opened a match box and out popped a fly.
His flashing sword goes whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh. A gust of wind fills the room, but the fly is still alive and buzzing around.
The emperor, obviously disappointed, asks, "After all that, you're fly is still alive."
The third Samurai smiled and said, "Yes, but he will never reproduce."
