Script[]

Fighter and Red Mage go to the weapon store...
Shopkeeper Can I help you boys?
Fighter Now what is it that I wanted?
Red Mage Yeah, I'd like two Excaliburs, Masamune, an Assassin's Dagger, half a dozen Aegis Shields (we strap the extras to our backs to improve rear AC value), two sets of Crystal Armor, one set of Silent Ring Mail, a Robe of Darkness, four Gauntlets of Giant's Strength, four Helmets of Invisibility, and four pairs of Alacritus's Boots of Speed.
Shopkeeper I've got two wooden swords, a wooden sword my toddler son broke which could pass as a dagger, and a few sets of wooden half armor which are all very noisy and dangerous to those who wear them due to splinters and chaffing.
Fighter It had to do with... something.
Shopkeeper But I'm pretty sure we've got wooden helmets. They have extra splinters, of course.
Red Mage ... of course.

Do you have anything made out of metal?

Fighter I'm pretty sure it had to be shiny...
Shopkeeper I've got a whole shipment of iron nunchucks in the back.
Red Mage Why would you have any kind of nunchucks?! This is a western style medieval setting! There aren't any monks or martial artists within five genres of here!
Shopkeeper Why do you think I still got a whole crate of 'em?
Red Mage Touché
Fighter Nunchucks, eh? That gives me the most smartest idea ever!

SWORD-CHUCKS, YO!

Shopkeeper That is the worst idea anyone has ever had.
Red Mage And how would you hold them anyway?
Fighter (thinking) I'd be like Bruce Lee meets Musashi! Only better! God, I'm so brilliant!
