Challenge in Flight
The three greatest swordsmen were in a heated contest. The final challenge was to slice a fly released from a box.
The first swordsman quickly sliced the fly in half. The second, not to be outdone, sliced the fly in thirds. The third contender apparently missed the fly, as it dropped down in the air and then flew away.
A judge asked the third swordsman, “Why did you miss?”
He replied, “I did not miss, Sir. That fly will no longer be able to reproduce.”
