King  Arthur and the Witch:

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 king dom fo r 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 farty
 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 charg e of  her own life
 , and eveybody elses too .

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the  witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.  

< B>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? < BR>
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 w ould 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!

I thought I would share a recent adventure. A coupe weeks ago, Morris Kernick headed up to a little town in Alaska to get a Commander. I have a contract to supply 2 Commanders to an A&P school in SE Alabama. After looking for several months and at 13 derelict Commanders, the first usable airplane, a 680, was found in Galena Alaska, about 100 nm from the Arctic Circle. With the help of TCFG member Steve Willis, we were successful if moving the airplane 1700nm to my home here in Washougal WA. It took 3 days to ready the airplane for the ferry flight. The airplane had not flown in many years but was in pretty good shape. All the avionics had been unceremoniously remove with what looked like a sawsall!! The trip to Washougla was completely uneventful and the airplane ran like a Swiss watch. After some additional work , I flew the airplane the remaining 1900nm to Enterprise Alabama, again without any trouble. The legs were Galena to Wasilla (Anchorage) AK. Than, direct to Ketchcan, with a stop in Sitka due to weather. From Kechican we flew direct to my home (Portland OR) none stop. The last legs were Washougal direct to Lamar CO (987nm) then direct to Enterprise (925nm). Coast to coast with one fuel stop!! Had a bit of excitement coming into the states. The FSS at Ketchican failed to activate our flight plan. We were intercepted by a couple of F-16s from the Oregon Air Guard. After a difficult conversation on 121.5 with a hand held radio, we were escorted to our destination. I haven't heard any more from the FAA, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that this is the end of the incident but who knows. The next airplane, a 560A is in San Diego and I plan to pick it up next week, if the FAA ever gives us the ferry permit. Hope all is well in your Commanderland!! PS Barry Collman. The A&P school is the Ozark-Enterprise Community College and they now have 4 Commanders in there ownership. N800NE, a 560A, S/N267(?) complete and could fly again, another 560A, S/N252 was in military paint with no engines and cut off wings & tail, and a 680 S/N 466-136 also will never fly again. It was converted to an "E" in 1974 and has a front door. The airplane I delivered was N6814S S/N 680-14 a 680. It will remain intact and could fly again. jb
