The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee is reknowned throughout his town for his quick wit and ready repartee.
One day, the circus comes to town and the Master of Quick Wit and Ready
Repartee and all his friends decide to go. As the Master of Quick Wit and
Ready Repartee is a bit of a local celebrity (for his quick wit and ready
repartee) they sit in the front row at the circus. The circus is great, the
elephants, the lions, the trapeze artists, the jugglers are all great and
everyone's having a good time.

Finally the clowns come on, clowning about and making everyone laugh. One of the clowns then approaches the Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee and says to him "Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, are you the front end of an ass?"

The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee replies "No, I'm not" The clown
then asks "Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, are you the rear end of
an ass?" The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee replies once more "No,
I'm not"

The clown then states "Well, Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, you
must therefore be no end of an ass!" The Master of Quick Wit and Ready
Repartee is stumped, the crowd go wild with laughter, andthe Master of Quick
Wit and Ready Repartee, humiliated, storms out of the circus, goes home and
locks himself in his room, vowing to get his own back on the clown with a
suitably witty retort.

Two weeks pass by, and finally the Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee
emerges from his room with a smug grin on his face. The circus is still in
town and so the Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee and his fiends decideto go back to the circus, once again retaining their front row seats.

The circus is as good as ever, and finally the clowns appear. One of the
clowns, having spotted the Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee at the
front, approaches him and says "Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, are
you the front end of an ass?"

The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee replies "No, I'm not"
The clown then asks "Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, are you the
rear end of an ass?"
The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee replies once more "No, I'm not"
The clown then states "Well, Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, you
must therefore be no end of an ass!"
The Master of Quick Wit and Ready Repartee, with a smug grin on his face,
stares right into the eyes of the clown, takes a long, deep breath
and says....
