    Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss’s house was?

      They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.

        More holidays, but when you’re a subsistence farmer, those aren’t really days off, just days you don’t have to work for the rent.
