The Jester was Chief Entertainer to the King.

A really good one doubled as counselor. That one didn't distract the King so much as educate through 'jest'.

"Many a truth is said in jest."

The jester to the public is the Circus..........a distraction.

And the Jesters run that as the Shrine Circus.

The Friar's Roast Club holds the tradition of the Jesters as educator to the Court, through jest.

They've lost the knack by the way.

So they provide punch and judies. Liquor and ladies.

Archtypically, the Jester is the Green Man. The Fool in the deck of Tarot cards and all that conveys.

He is also now the Trickster.........The Clown.........The Joker.........as the Wild Card, the zero card, in the deck.

The Jester medallions and patches symbolize the Jester as the Neptune tranny character who's greased belly is kissed by sailors in

a bizarre ritual upon crossing the equator or international dateline.

Dirty little clown secrets.

Honk if you're horny.
