For all the ladies of QL

HiQatar
By HiQatar

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him, but was moved by Arthur's youthful happiness. So he offered him freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question.

 

Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer; but, if, after a year, he still had no answer, he would be killed.

 

The question was: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and, to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. Since it was better than death, however, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

 

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everybody: the princess, the prostitutes, the priests, the wise men, the court jester.


In all, he spoke with everyone but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. What most people did tell him was to consult the old witch, as only she would know the answer. The price would be high, since the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no alternative 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 and awfully hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage water, often made obscene noises.

He had never run across such a repugnant creature. He refused to force his friend to marry her and have to endure such a burden.

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

 

Everyone instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it went. The neighboring monarch spared Arthur's life and granted him total 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 old witch put her worst manners on display. She ate with her hands, belched and farted, and made everyone uncomfortable.

 

The wedding night approached: Gawain, steeling himself for a horrific night, entered the bedroom. What a sight awaited! The most beautiful woman he'd ever seen lay before him! Gawain was astounded and asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her (when she'd been a witch), half the time she would be her horrible, deformed self, 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 began to think of 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 spooky witch? Or would he prefer having by day a hideous witch, but by night a beautiful woman to enjoy many intimate moments?

 

What would you do?

What Gawain chose follows below, but don't read until you've made your own choice.

 

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 and had let her be in charge of her own life.

 

What is the moral of this story?


The moral is that it doesn't matter if your woman is pretty or ugly, smart or dumb. Underneath it all, she's still a witch. And if you try to control her life, things will get ugly.

yup, fembot. u wud find at every stage of ur life, a category of men with such attitude. again, they r just another category among the variety of people (cud be men or women) we come across in our daily life.

 

n the interestin point is that, people who keep criticizin women like this, never actually take the readily available option of living WITHOUT women. its just their misconception that women in their life are complicating things for them.

 

personally, i find it really funny. the sayin "cryin baby gets the milk" seems not to work much in these people's cases :-) this trend has been there always, complanin, complanin, n complanin.

 

face life with a smile always, n take everythin lightly in life. life is to be lived every moment. keep up the spirit.

ah...gasp! Aye, trying to relax looking at that Puss with sunglasses on.

Oh..and, Fembot isn't such a serious woman afterall! Just an "ef"ed up 18 year old looking for every opportunity to hit back for all the hurts she went through. Geez I have to be reminded all the time.

Mila, thats just up to you. We call men bas*tards and they call us Sl*ts too. But if someone does call me that, or my gender, in an open forum where ideas can spread, I just wouldn't go with it. You mumble some common proverb and let the moment pass by. But my own proverb would be, yes, life is complicated, but to undo this complicated life of ours, there are certain things to be done like stopping a wrong idea from spreading.  Anything isn't just alright.

Wait a minute! Look at the moral of the story!! The moral is that it doesn't matter if your woman is pretty or ugly,

smart or dumb. Underneath it all, she's still a witch. And if you try

to control her life, things will get ugly. Underneath it all she is still a witch?? I don't know why men can just plainly call his opposite gender a witch and then get away with it!

 HUSBAND & WIFE  A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.  As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"  "Yep," the wife replied, "In-laws."  _______________________________________________________________________________  A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.  The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...  The husband then turned to his wife and asked, " What?" _______________________________________________________________________________  A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.  " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;  God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!  _______________________________________________________________________________A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.  The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."  The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."  Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."  Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."  So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says........ .. "HEBREWS" ______________________________________________________________________________ A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,  "Please wake me at 5:00 AM ." He left it where he knew she would find it.  The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious , he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.  

The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM, Wake up."

Here is some instruction on how to understand the women in your life.

Pay attention!

 

Words Women Use:

FINE

This is the word women use to end an argument when they feel they are

Right and you need to shut up. Never use "Fine" to describe how a woman looks

- This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

 

FIVE MINUTES

This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your

football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so it's

an even trade.

 

NOTHING

This means "something," and you should be on your toes. "Nothing" is

usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last "Five Minutes" and end with "Fine."

 

GO AHEAD

At some point in the near future, you are going to be in some mighty

big trouble.

 

GO AHEAD (With Raised Eyebrows)

This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over

NOTHING and end up with the word "Fine."

 

GO AHEAD (Normal Eyebrows)

This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You

will get a "Raised Eyebrow Go Ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by

"Nothing" and "Fine" and she will talk to you in about "Five Minutes" when she cools off.

 

LOUD SIGH

This is not actually a word, but is a nonverbal statement often

misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot

at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and

arguing with you over "Nothing."

 

SOFT SIGH

Again, not a word, but a nonverbal statement. "Soft Sighs" mean that she is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe, and she will stay  content.

 

 

THAT'S OKAY

This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you back for whatever it is that you have or have not done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and in conjunction with a "Raised  Eyebrow."

 

PLEASE DO

This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance with the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."

 

THANKS

A woman is thanking you. Do not faint. Just say "you're welcome."

 

THANKS A LOT

This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have offended her in some callous way and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud Sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."

Everybody is right and Everybody is wrong, its depend where you stand

If you really curious about how to keep a man happy ... try reading 'Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus' ... lots of crap in it, but you can get some points from that ...

 

I wish my wife reads that ...

By HiQatar• 26 Feb 2008 15:10
HiQatar

Now, thats one thing that I cant answer for all men ...

Well freedom is something that everyone wants ...  ...

But we sure would want to know why a woman says "Nothing", when there is really something wrong and we are left clueless about that ...
