      “expired without issue” has a whole different meaning to historians/nobility/royalty:

      explanation of the joke

      expire: die
      issue: children
      and thus:
      expire without issue: die childless

      which is a problem with royalties since it means their line of succession ends.

      I’m not sure I get the store manager part but I think if a member of royalty expires without issue I’d guess it means they made it to being dead without any uprisings or rebellions or coups etc.

      All guess work on my part.
