An old man walked to the King and said: "I can draw rainbows wherever I want."
The King replied: "That's true, I saw you making one yesterday and it was really pretty."
A soldier then walked to the King while everyone stared at him, and said: "Your majesty, I have a gun that shoots atomic bombs."
The King quickly said: "That's great, and by the way, good job on Hiroshima."

Almost desperate, a young boy approached the King holding a barrel and loudly said: "I lent you a barrel of gold last week".
The King said: "That's a lie."
The boy replied: "Give me half of your fortune then!"
The King quickly said: "Wait, I remember, you did lend you me barrel of gold last week."
Smirking, the boy shouted: "Give it back to me then."
