Not too long ago, the ruler of Iran was called the Shah.
His son was called the Shan.
It so happened that this particular Shah had a son afflicted with epilepsy.
Consequenty, he was kept under constant surveillance so that this secret could be kept from the public in order to keep the line of succession unbroken.
One night the son was allowed to go to a club in town to celebrate his birthday.
While standing his duty, the guardian, in a moment of weakness, was lured away for a quick tryst with a provocative guest.
As would happen, while he was absent, the son had a seizure.
The secret was exposed.
The throne was in jeopardy.
The Shah ordered the man brought to trial for punishment.
The man was found guilty of negligence and sentenced to death.
The judge addressed the accused and said,
"Before I actually pronounce sentence on you, where were you when the fit hit the Shan?"

Iternity, there's a saying that goes, "the shit hit the fan." Well, in this case, the end of the joke reads, "where were you when the fit (meanign the seizure) hit the Shan (meaning the man that had the seizure.) So, instead of it sayng "the shit hit the fan", it said "fit hit the shan." Does that make sense?
