William Shakespeare Gets His Covid Vaccine
William Shakespeare becomes the 2nd person to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech #COVID19 vaccine (outside of a trial) in Coventry, England.
Nurse: Which arm?
WS: As you like it
Nurse: was that painful?
WS: Much ado about nothing.
Nurse: you will have to have a second jab.
WS: Measure for measure?
Nurse: so what do you think of the govt handling of Covid?
WS: Comedy of Errors.
Actually I heard the second person to get the vaccine was Christopher Marlowe but William Shakespeare took all the credit. Actually it was Sir Francis Bacon, and he allowed Shakespeare to take the credit.
All’s Well That Ends Well.
The Taming of the Flu
If Margaret Keenan is patient 1A for the vaccine, would William Shakespeare be 2B, or not 2B?And would the next person be Richard III?
Britain’s National Theatre even getting in on the joke:
Casting director: So what would you bring to the role of second patient? We want a sense of real drama and patriotism here.
Auditionee: I’m literally called William Shakespeare.
Casting director: Fair enough, the part’s yours.
