It could certainly enliven the 2048 campaign.
“…and so, in conclusion, my package of entitlements reforms will preserve Social Security and Medicare for generations to come.”
“Thank you, Senator Bedfellow. You have one minute for a rebuttal, Ms. Vanecek.”
“BEHOLD! THE SWORD OF JÖNKÖPING!”
Audience: “The Sword of Jönköping! The Sword of Jönköping!”

Now, that makes her the kind of England , mind you, not the king of Sweden. Gotta be careful about such things.

Nah, I saw the Gaga saga–it was caca.
If she brought the sword for show and tell in the US she would immediately be arrested for bringing a weapon to school.
Sweet little piece in the Guardian’s magazine this week:
It would be no great surprise in England to find (presumably highly-valued) metal objects from pre-historic times in (presumably sacred) water; interesting that it turns up elsewhere in Europe.
Yeah, it’s sweet…But let’s show some pity for the poor father:
She wants a replica sword :- is Paypal safe these days ? I’m inclined to throw in 50 euros (not least because she might be the Once and Future king. Best to keep on the right side of such individuals).
