Saint Harvey of Flintshire

 

With today being Comic Relief - Red Nose Day 2021, I thought it would be appropriate to celebrate Saint Harvey of Flintshire, that man generally accepted as being the inventor of the "Knock Knock" joke.

He lived in the 9th Century, and attempted to convert the people of Flintshuire to Catholicism through the use of parables, good deeds, miracle (basically card tricks) and .... jokes.

Alas, after a particularly badly-time "The Baron is so stupid" joke, he was eviscerated and died on stage. Literally.

Bonus - Casu marzu: The world's 'most dangerous' cheese
