With that nose, how could he not.

Maybe they wants him to gives a live demonstration for their potential customers too.

The clothes maketh the man. Or something…..

A low-grade endorsement for Rodney! Probably pays better than the Fink.

He and the armor “takes a licking and keeps on ticking.”

(Slogan for the Timex Armor Company)

Anything to make a sale, eh?

Reminds me of the ad campaigns claiming their product is hospital tested. But they never say if it passed the test!

He’s a survivor!

Good point. Most knights are dead.

Rodney’s only alive because he ran away.

That’s … surprisingly good point he made :)

Just a second — I’ll check.

The armorer has got it right. Having a winning jouster would be good, but having a surviving jouster would be better, especially when mixed with assorted crushing collisions that Sir Rodney walked away from. Now, there’s an ad campaign.

When one joust knocks you over, another one puts you back up

I know some applications where this fits perfectly, but I don’t want to get sued, yip yip yip yip yip

Joust the two of us – he gets beaten every time! Joust the two of us and survive…

Shirley, you joust?

Always look on the bright side. He’s not all bloody…

You have to admit, for someone who can’t fight very well, Rodney has something that keeps him alive.

Don’t expect any lance maker endorsements, Rodney.

Their armor is also lightweight which helps with beating those hasty retreats Rodney is so fond of.

One of the best known medieval sports, jousting was also the most dangerous. People did die or get maimed in accidents. Not really a Rodney sport.

You earn points by surviving.
