If all the world and love were young,

And truth in every shepherd's tongue,

These pretty pleasures might me move

To live with thee and be thy love.

already happened. --Douglas Adams

I was reading The Once and Future King again and found this passage that was kind of funny:

"Hail," said Merlyn in his most mysterious manner.

"Hail," replied the King, anxious to make a good impression.

"Did you say 'hail'?" inquired the King, looking around him nervously. "I thought it was going to be fine, myself."

"He means, 'how-do-you-do?'" explained the Wart.

"Ah, yes, How-de-do?"

They shook hands again.

"Good afternoon," said King Pellinore. "What do you think the weather looks like now?"

"I think it looks like an anti-cyclone."

"Ah yes," replied the King. "An anti-cyclone. Well, I suppose I ought to be getting alone." 

At this the King trembled very much, opened and shut his visor a couple times, coughed, wove his reins into a knot, exclaimed, "I beg your pardon?" and showed signs of cantering away.

"He's a white magician," said the Wart. "You need not be afraid of him. He is my best friend, your majesty, and in any case he generally gets his spells muddled up."

"Ah yes," said King Pellinore. "A white magician, what? How small the world is, is it not? How-de-do?"

"Hail," said Merlyn.

"Hail," said King Pellinore.

They shook hands for the third time.

...... 

"Well, I must say," the King exclaimed, "it never hails but it pours."

"Hail," said Merlyn.

"Hail," said King Pellinore.

"Hail," said the Wart. 

Dunno how funny that actually is, but I thought it was when I read it! From The Sword in the Stone by T.H. White.
