Who goeth there?

The creation of the knock knock joke can be traced back to England, around 1032, near the end of the "Comedic Dark Age". Many court jesters were losing their popularity around that time; the latest addition of fools (disfigured people rambling like complete idiots) quickly replaced them due to their lower import price. Much like in modern times, the crazy, random, and stupid had beaten the witty, mature, and hard working.

Anyways, two unknown jesters of the period needed some quick cash and thought up the routine known as "Ye Olde Knocke Knocke Joke". The following is a transcript of the joke. It should be noted that many Bothans died to bring us this information.
