LONDON (Reuters) - WANTED - A court  jester to fill a post vacant for 350 
years since England executed its king.  

English Heritage said in an advertisement in the  Times on Thursday 
applicants for the competition at the weekend should bring  their own costumes with 
bells, but said it would provide a bladder on a stick  -- a traditional jester's 
prop. 

Contrary to the image of a buffoon,  court jesters had to be highly astute, 
able to lift the spirits of their  monarchs and risked death if they failed -- 
as many did. 

The duties of  the last court jester, whose job ended in 1649 when Charles I 
lost his head,  included making him laugh and providing a distraction from 
politics.  

This time, however, English Heritage said the winner would not risk  
decapitation but would still have to provide trenchant wit. Would-be fools  should 
attend a public audition Saturday at Stoneleigh Park in central  England, wearing 
their costumes.

LONDON (Reuters) - WANTED - A court jester to fill a post vacant for 350
years since England executed its king.

English Heritage said in an advertisement in the Times on Thursday
applicants for the competition at the weekend should bring their own
costumes with bells, but said it would provide a bladder on a stick -- a
traditional jester's prop.

Contrary to the image of a buffoon, court jesters had to be highly astute,
able to lift the spirits of their monarchs and risked death if they
failed -- as many did.

The duties of the last court jester, whose job ended in 1649 when Charles I
lost his head, included making him laugh and providing a distraction from
politics.

This time, however, English Heritage said the winner would not risk
decapitation but would still have to provide trenchant wit. Would-be fools
should attend a public audition Saturday at Stoneleigh Park in central
England, wearing their costumes.
