Percy, you are dismissed from my service.Me? Why, my lord?Why? Because, Percy, far from being a fit consort for a prince of the realm, you would bore the leggings off a village idiot. You ride a horse rather less well than another horse would.

If you put on a floppy hat and a funny codpiece, you might just get by as a fool, but since you wouldn't know a joke if it got up and gave you a haircut, I doubt it. That's why you're dismissed. Oh, I see. And as for you, Baldrick... Yes. You're out, too.
