Young King Arthur was ambushed and
imprisoned by the monarch of a
neighboring kingdom. The monarch
could have killed him but was moved
by Arthur's youth and ideals. So,
the monarch offered him his
freedom, as long as he could answer
a very difficult question. Arthur
would have a year to figure out the
answer and, if after a year, he still
had no answer, he would be put to
death.

The question?....What do women
really want? Such a question would
perplex even the most knowledgeable
man, and to young Arthur, it seemed
an impossible query. But, since it was
better than death, he accepted the
monarch's proposition to have an
answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and
began to poll everyone: the princess,
the priests, the wise men and even
the court jester. He spoke with
everyone, but no one could give him
a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult
the old witch, for only she would
have the answer.
But the price would be high; as
the witch was famous throughout
the kingdom for the exorbitant
prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived
and Arthur had no choice but to
talk to the witch. She agreed to
answer the question, but he would
have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir
Lancelot, the most noble of the
Knights of the Round Table and
Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She
was hunchbacked and hideous,
had only one tooth, smelled like
sewerage, made obscene noises,
etc. He had never encountered
such a repugnant creature in all
his life.
He refused to force his friend
to marry her and endure such a
terrible burden, but Lancelot,
learning of the proposal, spoke
with Arthur.
He said nothing was too big of a
sacrifice compared to Arthur's
life and the preservation of the
Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed
and the witch answered Arthur's
question thus:

What a woman really wants, she
answered....is to be in charge of
her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly
knew that the witch had uttered
a great truth and that Arthur's
life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring
monarch granted Arthur his
freedom and Lancelot and the
witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached
and Lancelot, steeling
himself for a horrific experience,
entered the bedroom. But, what
a sight awaited him. The most
beautiful woman he had ever
seen, lay before him on the bed.
The astounded Lancelot asked
what had happened.

The beauty replied that since he
had been so kind to her when
she appeared as a witch, she
would henceforth, be her
horrible deformed self only
half the time and the beautiful
maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer?
Beautiful during the day....or
night?
Lancelot pondered the
predicament. During the day, a
beautiful woman to show off to
his friends, but at night, in the
privacy of his castle, an old
witch? Or, would he prefer
having a hideous witch during the
day, but by night, a beautiful
woman for him to enjoy wondrous,
intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below.
BUT....make YOUR choice

before you scroll down below.

OKAY?

Noble Lancelot, knowing the
answer the witch gave Arthur to
his question, said that he would
allow HER to make the choice
herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced
that she would be beautiful all
the time because he had
respected her enough to let her
be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to
this story?

The moral is..... If you don't let a woman have her own way....

things are going to get ugly.

good one dot

I like that one.

I personally have always tried to let the women I've dated have their own lives when not with me. I prefer a woman that wants me around- but doesn't NEED me around 24/7. I admire women that are independant, and can take care of themselves- and make their own decisions and choices.

I would've told her it really didn't matter to me, since there is always something beautiful to find with a woman- especially on the inside. External Beauty fades like a rose after being cut from the bush, but Internal Beauty lasts, like a warm hearth.
