><< Medieval Chastity Belt
>
>King Arthur was in Merlin's laboratory where the great wizard was
>showing him his latest creation. It was a chastity belt, except
>it had a rather large hole in the most obvious place which made
>it basically useless.
>
>"This is no good, Merlin!" the King exclaimed, "Look at this
>opening. How is this supposed to protect my lady, the Queen, when
>I'm on a long quest?"
>
>"Ah, sire, just observe," said Merlin. He then selected his most
>worn out wand, one that he was going to discard anyway. He
>inserted it in the gaping aperture of the chastity belt whereupon
>a small guillotine blade came down and cut it neatly in two.
>
>"Merlin, you are a genius!" said the grateful monarch. "Now I can
>leave, knowing that my Queen is fully protected."
>
>After putting Guinevere in the device, King Arthur then set out
>upon a lengthy Quest.
>
>Several years passed until he returned to Camelot. Immediately he
>assembled all of his knights in the courtyard and had them drop
>their trousers for an informal 'short arm' inspection.
>
>Sure enough, each and every one of them was either amputated or
>damaged in some way. All of them, except Sir Galahad.
>
>"Sir Galahad," exclaimed King Arthur. "You are my one and only
>true knight! Only you among all the nobles have been true to me.
>What is it in my power to grant you? Name it and it is yours."
>
>But, alas, Sir Galahad was speechless.
