hi daza it was a poor tempt of a joke.

meaning Friar Tuck's never had a wooden leg.
But a michelmindless would go looking for it.

I also heard the expression at a dog trail which I was heavily involved with some years back now by a judge, where the dog had to track out an object it was extremely difficult but the dog was so darn good, and the judge said that "don't fear he had seen the dog work before and he was that good he(the dog) could find Friar Tuck's wooden leg."
