I believe this one.

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
freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult
question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer. If after a year
he had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex the most knowledgeable person, and to young
Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since
it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: The princess,
prostitutes, priests, wise men, and court jester. But
no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to
consult the old witch. Only she would know the
answer. The price would be high; 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 his question, but
he'd have to accept her price first: The old witch wanted to marry Gawain,
the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table,
and Arthur's closest friend. Young Arthur was horrified: She was
hunchbacked, hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like
sewage and made obscene noises. He had never encountered such a repugnant
person. He refused to force his friend to marry
her and endure such a burden.

Gawain, upon learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He told him that
nothing was too big a sacrifice compared to
Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table. So, their wedding was
proclaimed, and the witch answered Arthur's
question: What a woman really wants is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone knew the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life
would be spared. And so it was. The monarch granted
Arthur's freedom. What a wedding Gawain and the witch had! Arthur was torn
between relief and anguish. Gawain was proper as
always, gentle and courteous. The witch put her worst manners on display,
making everyone very uncomfortable.

The honeymoon hour approached. Gawain, 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! The
astounded Gawain asked what had happened. The
beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she'd appeared as
a witch, she would henceforth be her horrible,
deformed self half the time, and the other half she would be her beautiful
maiden self. Which would he want her to be during
the day, and which during the night?

What a cruel question! Gawain pondered his predicament. During the day, a
beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at
night, in the privacy of his home, an old witch? Or would he prefer having
by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful
woman with whom to enjoy many intimate moments?

What would you do? What Gawain chose follows below.

Noble Gawain replied that he would let her choose for 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.

What is the moral of this story?

It is: If a woman doesn't get her own way, things are going to get ugly.

And how many years did it take to figure this one out? ;)
 
The way I heard it, it was the knights who had to find out what women wanted, and the witch told him (I think) she could be beautiful, but she might go astray and make a cuckold of him, or she could be ugly, but faithful and good to him. And she chose to be beautiful and faithful.

But I don't think this is what women want at all. Women wanted to be in charge of their lives in the Middle Ages, when it was rare that a woman could have control of anything.

There are women with lots of control that want something more.

An excerpt from the Chris Rock Show:

Chris (paraphrased): What do women really want?

Guest: We want it all! [women cheer]

Chris: But you can't have it all!


Women want everything. They want the handsome, romantic, spontaneous, intelligent, responsible husband who's great with their beautiful 2.5 loving children (likely a boy and a girl), a beautiful home with a white picket fence, a job that pays well in money and respect (or the option to stay and raise the kids), etc. etc.

Hmm. I dont see much problem with most of it except the 2.5 children. That could get really messy.
 
Closet space

All I've ever wanted was a dental plan and closet space......you'd think would be simple.







edited because I can't spell.
The brunettes made me dye my hair blonde...I swear.
 
How expensive are closets anyway?

I mean it isn't like I said they had to be full or anything. As a sacrifice I will look after filling them on my own.

As far as the dental plan being an expense.....i'll have to think on that one.
 
goddamnit, I timed out, that was me... the

*ahem*

I thought that one shorted out. I am shopping for a "UL listed wet location vibrating panties remote" as we speak.
 
Hey Cara, nice tits. :)

All I want right now is a wild, raw, sweaty fuck filled with dirty talk and lots of grunting and then a smoke afterwards.

That's it. really.

All hard up and 2000 miles away or I'd oblige you.
 
The fable you posted sounds almost exactly like the knight's tale from Canterbury Tales. In it, the knight who asked the witch what women wanted could only find out by marrying her. And whoever it was that said that she said the deal was that she could be beautiful and make him a cuckhold or she could be ugly and faithful was correct. I know it doesn't really matter, lol, I just thought like mentally masturbating and showing off how smart I am. ;)

I steal from the best, or the worst depending on perspective. I love Chaucer. I am also really into Donne, Milton, and thier contemporaries.

First book of Paradise Lost has some of the best imagery I've ever read. "Darkness Visible" meaning the fires of hell.

Youwza.
