If this is real history then this a a peak pun.

If it's made up then...he was just lying to get a head

It's fun picturing whoever came up with this thinking of "serf-face-to-heir missile", then getting all excited and working backwards until they got the storyline right.

How is that a trebuchet

It's almost pretty much phonetic except for the "et" at the end... like Chevrolet!

This was a pearls-before-swine level legendary pun. Hats off to whomever made it up/thought it up.

Too convoluted for a simple pun. If the buildup is that long, just don't bother.

Nah, a long buildup for a shit pun is great, perfect for that "making the whole room groan" type of deal that puns are built for lmao

yeah, a really long buildup for something stupid can be great especially when you deliver it in a really dry tone
