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 sewage, 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 La! ncelot, 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?

Now that is funny!! The best laugh I have had all day!
Thanks so much and keep them coming. Oh, by the way, I just love the wedding picture at the bottom of you postings. Where did you ever find it??
It has been lost in the passing down of history, but Lancelot was, like Joan D'arc, a woman ;-)
So much stays unknown 'til the time has come,
Did you ever imagine you could feel so strong,
And what you fear just turn into relief,
Yes see your doubt become your own belief,
Though tears don't come to cry some grief away,
The tears will help to keep your need at bay,
