Posted: Thu Nov 03, 2005 9:04 am
bleh, always when i got some cunning plan goa decides that the server must close for something or other.
needed something to do so i thought i'd post this slight amusement.
after digging through my collection of books to read i found a copy of David Gemmel's - "The first chronicles of Druss the Legend"
Sieben the saga poet was telling his tales of heroism and of ladies of lesser virtue shall we say. he told a joke which i must admit i found amusing..
Here is the tale of a Hero captured by the vicious enemy.
He was taken before the leader, and told that he had one opportunity for life:
he must survive four trials by ordeal.
The first was to walk barefoot across a trench filled with hot coals,
The second to drink a quart of the strongest spirits.
Thirdly he had to enter a cave and with a pair of small tongs remove a bad tooth from a mankilling lioness.
Lastly he was told he had to make love to the ugliest crone in the village.
Well, he pulled off his boots and told them to bring him to the trench of hot coals, he promptly strode through to the other side where he lifted the quart of spirit and drained it,
hurling the pot aside he then stumbled into the cave,
there followed the most terrible sounds of spitting, growling, and banging and shrieking. The listening men found their blood growing cold.
At last the warrior staggered out into the sunlight "Right" he said "Now wheres the woman with the toothache"
Jas...
