This reminds me of a joke told among the Jaffa.

A Serpent Guard, a Horus Guard and a Setesh Guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent Guard's eyes glow, the Horus Guard's beak glistens, the Setesh Guard's...

nose drips.

I know sg-1, but this one flew right past me. Care to explain?

The Guards of a system lord wear a helmet that represents them. So the Serpent Guards helmet is a serpent which eyes can glow. The Horus Guards helmet is an eagle which beak can glisten, but the Seteshs Guard helmet... Well it looks like a derpy dog (as seen in this threads image) so all it could do is having a drippy nose.

Thanks! It's surprisingly hard to find images of actual Setesh Guards from the show. But I did find your initial fenc reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbqtF91IE1k

Nice!
