The King Was Bored.....

Once in a medieval times...there was a King who was
getting sort of bored after dinner one night. He decided to hold a contest of
who at the court had the mightiest "weapon". The first knight stood up and
proclaimed that he had the mightiest weapon...he pulled down his pants and tied
a 5 pound weight around it. The weapon doth rose. The crowds cheered...the women
swooned...the children waved multi-colored banners...and the band played
appropriate music.
Another knight stood up and yelled that he had the
mightiest weapon. He dropped his pants and tied a 10 pound weight to himself.
The weapon doth rose. The crowds cheered...the women swooned...the children
waved multi-colored banners... and the band played appropriate
music.

After several more knights tried to prove their superiority...the
King finally spoke out. "I have the mightiest weapon of them all!" He dropped
his pants and tied, not a 10 pound, not a 20 pound, not ever a thirty pound, but
a 40 pound weight to himself. The weapon doth rose. The crowds cheered...the
women swooned...the children waved multi-colored banners...and the band played
"God Save the Queen."
