A lady approaches a priest and shyly tells him, "Father, I have a problem. I have these two talking female parrots but, they only know how to say one thing... they keep saying 'Hi, we’re hot... do you want to *frick us*?'"
"That's terrible!" says the priest. "But, I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two parrots over to my house tomorrow. I will put them with my two male talking parrots... to whom I've taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will then teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible filth, and your female parrots will learn to pray and worship the good Lord." So the next day, the lady brings her two female parrots to the priest's house. The priest's two male parrots are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her female talking parrots in with the male talking Parrots, and the female parrots say, "Hi, we're hot. Do you want to frick us?” One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and screams, "put the bible away you idiot, our prayers have been answered!"

A historical figure popular culture over the centuries has taken a particular shine to. As an actual governing King Richard was the drizzling shits. Constantly at war and raising taxes at home to support those efforts, rarely actually in the Kingdom he ruled, and captured while in Europe which forced the English to pay... quite literally... "a King's ransom."
But he was a very solid military leader who won more often than he lost and he fought the Muslims in the 3rd Crusade. That he bankrupted England in doing so was the price of doing business back then.
