England's King Henry the Eighth had bowling lanes installed in

his Castle. Dude loved the bull, but he didn't want

41
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:49.919
poor people to bowl with the rich people, so he

42
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.879
put a big tax on it, so that prevented the

43
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.520
poor from bowling. So how old is bowling? Oh, it

44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.759

vote for him, but she really wanted him to win.

50
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.800
Then she told him to grow a beard. She said,

51
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.039
you would look a great deal better because of your

52
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.759

her back, and he said that he had never had

54
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.560
a beard, but he would think about it, thought about it,

55
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.039
and grow beard. Then he won the election. On his
