On the one android discussion list, there's a current discussion relating to 
touch screen gestures, where the message subjects are all coming through as: 
Suggestions for jesters

Now, a jester was a form of medieval comedian/performer, and, I would guess 
off-hand that the person who started this thread used something like voice 
input and intended asking about suggestions for touch screen gesture changes, 
etc., but, on the other hand, maybe they were subconsciously referring to their 
handset unit as something iffy/amusing - not!!! <smile>

From the wiktionary jester entry:
"1. one who jests, jokes or mockps
2. Person in bright garb and fool's cap who amused a mediaeval royal court."

Stay well
