You may not use a weapon that is a larger than yourself. A Large character can use a Large (or smaller) object as a weapon, but may not use a Huge (or larger) object as a weapon.

Evidently, I quoted too much. Here it is again, with just the relevant bit:
Re: Questions!
Actually, having read it again, I think that the Jester Class does not give you any special ability to wield weapons to big for a character to normally wield.
The Jester class was written for Dungeonomicon + Core rather than Dungeonomicon + Races of War, so we can ignore RoW rules for now.
The class is very specific: "...suffers no attack penalty for using a weapon with which they are not proficient or which is made for a character of a different size than themselves."
Not being able to wield a weapon isn't an attack penalty. That clause applies no normal 3.5, wherein you suffer a penalty for wielding a giant's dagger in two hands.
If you're using Races of War, there is no longer a penalty for using 'wrongly-sized' weapons, so that part no longer applies. What does apply is that you can use improvised weapons at no penalty, but you still use the normal rules for wielding them.
