Samurai

These three samurai have a contest to decide which among them is the greatest swordsman. The judge goes to the first samurai and opens a small box. Out flew a fly. The samurai's sword flashes through the air and the fly falls to the ground, neatly sliced in half. "Very impressive," says the judge.

The judge goes to the second samurai and again opens a small box. The samurai's sword flashes twice and the fly falls neatly cut into four parts. "Superb!", exclaims the judge.

The judge goes to the third samurai, opens a third small box and a third fly buzzes out. The samurai's sword flashes through the air and the fly continued to buzz away. The samurai puts up his sword with a satisfied grin on his face. "But the fly still lives" says the judge. "True," says the samurai, "but he will never reproduce again!"
