I know we have seen this before, but I think it needs repeating, just to remind us of our duties and to prove how smart we CAN BE. If we want to live in harmony and be joined in happiness we must......ahhhhhhh, what the hell do I know.....I don't have any idea what I am talking about. If it wasn't for my sweetie telling me what to do, I wouldn't know whether I was coming or going. And that's the truth according to those in the know!!!!!!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 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 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?Scroll down
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly

Smart men, King Arthur and Lancelot.
I learned, and hopefully not too late, that when women wish to share something that is troubling for them, men need only to listen and not attempt to fix their situations. It's not our fault ladies, it's in men's DNA to fix whatever. Listen up men, women have enough sense to fix their own difficulties, and they want you to listen ONLY. If they feel the need for advice they will ask. Am I right or wrong?

P.S. Winston, good story.
I think you're on the right path, Bill. You're learning.
It took me awhile to learn that lesson, but I sometimes forget. Then again there are some men who never learn. All the ladies want is a choice. I use to give them a choice. I would say; "Do you want to lay down? We don't have to do anything". I should mention that I still have some of the scars from asking that question, but they are still healing nicely. I am sometimes a slow learner.......
Some of us men on here are a little smart also. Not always, but we learn quick. After all, being from Verdun, we have to be quick thinkers to keep up with you ladies from Verdun.

I'd like to know what they gals on here 'think' and what would they 'prefer' ................................................................................................................. hhahahahahaha How's that for Brownie Points:
Aha Les! There's the rub. We are fated to quess. If they have to tell us then it means we do not really care for them. Why do you think it took me half a century to get it. What I mentioned above that is. God bless the ladies I love them all.
