Oh, come on.  Puns are the best. Googled "medieval puns" and got this
gem (and you thought what I wrote was bad...):

Back in the middle ages, there was a travelling show which travelled
throughout Europe. It was famous across the whole continent for it's
fabulous and death defying shows.
The show was named "The Show of Tension", because of the daring nature
of most of the stunts, and thus the performers and other staff
associated with the show gained the nickname "Tensions".
Sadly, the shows didn't survive the poverty that swept Europe in the
middle ages. As people got poorer, they couldn't afford to spend money
on frivolous things like a travelling show.
And thus was born the expression "unable to pay a tension"...

Now that's some bad writing there.
