"I have many relatives, my lord, but to be honest I try to have as little to do with them as possible. They're all obsessed with wordplay and conundrums. Like: 'What's the difference between Queen Elizabeth and a frock hastily constructed from legumes? One is Good Queen Bess, and the other is a crude bean dress.'"
"Baldrick, that's terrible even by your standards."
"Just so, my lord. And that's why I don't like to admit that I have a punning clan."
