What if I were to tell you that Humpty Dumpty did in fact not have a great fall?

[OfDeath]

Furthermore, he didn't even sit on the wall at all!

I say to you.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Makes sense. In 15th-Century England, “Humpty Dumpty” was a common insulting nickname for somebody who was on the large side.

Lewis Carroll with Through the Looking glass had its sixth chapter titled “Humpty Dumpty". Humpty Dumpty was a huge, bizarre, sentient egg that sat on a wall.

Then there's also the military historian theory that Humpty Dumpty was the name of a cannon used by the Royalists during the English Civil War in Colchester.

He never made it to Fall. And he was pushed off the wall... in Spring.

Hahahahaha!

Could’ve just outright said you have no sense of humor.

Didn’t need to post a meme that’s easy to flip around and insult those who believe anything their government and media tells them.

All the Kings men could not put Humpty dumpy back together again

[LiamJHayden]

Of course he did. Humpbacked King Richard III's great fall was his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485, which ended the reign of the House of York.

I'd agree that since Humpty Dumpty was a fictional character the described incident likely never happened. Although it may have been based on a similar incident witnessed by the author.

Some nursery rhymes do have historical contexts but Humpty Dumpty seems not to.

[NotTacocaT6969]

There wasn’t a Humpty Dumpy at all.

[OfDeath]

I think that may be going a little too far

[NotTacocaT6969]

Yeah, but it rhymes.

[exitseven]

He was a good egg though.

I would believe you
