On the day before the Battle of Hastings, King Harold said to the commander of his army, "Are the troops ready?"
"They are, your Majesty", said the commander, "Would you like a demonstration?"
"Yes, I would", said the King. So the commander lined all the archers up and instructed them to fire off a volley. Three thousand arrows sped through the air and landed a quarter of a mile away. But one clumsey archer fired straight up into the air, and the arrow went up several hundred feet, turned round and came back down again, landing about six inches from where the King was standing.
"You want to watch that fellow", said the King. "If he's not careful, he'll have somebody's eye out tomorrow!"
