By Vlad's time this was replaced by the sword-sharpening joke:

How many Easterners does it take to sharpen a sword? 
  Four: one to hold the sword and three to move the grindstone. 
[Yen19] The point: Easterners are stupid.

How many Dzur does it take to sharpen a sword? 
  Four: one to sharpen the sword and three to put up enough of a fight to make it
worthwhile. 
[Yen71] The point: Dzur love to fight. 

How many Yendi does it take to sharpen a sword? 
  Three. One to sharpen the sword and one to confuse the issue. 
[Yen177] The point: Yendi confuse the issue. Anything involving Yendi is confusing. Even
mentioning Yendi confuses the issue.
