(Some versions of the story do conflate the two swords, but in those versions it is pulled from the stone, not given by the Lady of the Lake.) Just another case of too much information hurting the funny, I guess. Mark in Boston - If you've really foretold tomorrow's Get Fuzzy, I'm going to find that disturbing.

It's the old joke, "Do you serve crabs here?" "We serve everybody, sir. Sit right down." Bucky and Satchel are doing a Who's On First with every possible variation of serving fish. Maybe tomorrow Bucky will show Satchel a book titled "To Serve Fish", and Satchel will be horrified to realize "IT'S A COOKBOOK!"
