Main comic, one panel: An old man with long gray hair and a long gray beard hands a sword to a younger man with shoulder-length hair. The old man says, 'YES, MY BOY. TAKE IT. GO TO BATTLE NOW, WITH THE SWORD OF DESTINY.' The younger man grips the sword with a determined expression. A caption beneath the panel reads: 'Sadly, the guy with the sword of destiny was later killed by the guy with gun of destiny.' Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the old man's worried face as he thinks, 'I REALLY SHOULD START SPECIFYING WHAT THE DESTINY IS...' The joke: 'destiny' guaranteed the sword's owner a destiny, just not victory, since someone else had the gun of destiny.
