Humor in fencing (lack thereof)

I noticed that there is a severe lack of humor when it comes to the sprot of fencing. Searching google came up with three things. Every site had either a copy or a link to "why fencing is better than sex", "fencer's dictionary" or "characteristcs of each type of fencer".

This is really sad. Even FencingSucks.com has almost nothing to offer. apparently we are a completely humorless lot. We need some jokes here. Anyone got anything original?

*I posted this on hte general discussion board, but it was suggested to me that I move it here.

Well there's the whole sword=phallic thing, which can be played up in any number of ways.

Rule of 'The Sword'
Foil has rules, and
Saber you can't go below the belt, but
Epee you can hit anywhere, bounce, and have sudden bursts of energy
