"Joust
Like A Woman"
Episode KH603
Original Airdate: 1/13/02
Strickland forces Hank to work at a Renaissance Fair sponsored by
Strickland Propane’s biggest customer, Phillip. Peggy, who once
taught medieval history, gladly tags along and tries to regale the
crowd with details of medieval times, explaining how women back then
lived. She jokes about how medieval women would have loved vacuum
cleaners. But everyone becomes upset because Peggy broke character
by mentioning a modern appliance. They call Peggy a witch, prompting
her to proclaim that it’s a good thing that women’s lib
came along. Peggy’s comments send the crowd into an uproar,
and they punish her by locking her up. Hank doesn’t defend Peggy
because the fair uses so much propane, and Peggy is enraged. Hank
finally comes around and ultimately must defend Peggy’s honor
when Phillip challenges him to a joust.
