*Woman Decision*

*This is a very interesting story and a lesson for men.*

*(To men) Please take time to ponder.* 

*(To women) Just enjoy the story.* 

*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 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 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. 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 kingdom for 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 first he would have to agree to her price.*

*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 hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene 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, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.*

*Arthur's question thus:* 

*"What a woman really wants?"*

*She said, "A woman wants to be in charge of her own life."*

*Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth, and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring 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 was sitting by 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 become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.*

*"Which would you prefer?" She asked him. "BEAUTIFUL during the DAY... OR at NIGHT?"*

*Lancelot pondered the predicament.*

*During the day, he could have 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 moments with?*

*(If you are a man reading this) What would YOUR choice be?*

*(If you are a woman reading this) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?*

*And Lancelot's choice is given below...*

*BUT, please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below!*

*OKAY?*

*Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.*

*Upon hearing this, she announced that she would 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*  

*The moral is...*

1. *There is a 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is. It's how a man manages it*

2. *If you let a woman decide on her own she gives u d best. but if u force her with ur decisions she becomes a witch.*

*Hmmmm* 

*What do you think ?*

*So, be careful how you treat a woman, especially your wife; so your prayers may be answered!!!*

*If you have enjoyed it forward to your friends*

Guinness World Records is saddened to learn that Bob Weighton, who held the title for the oldest person living (male), has passed away due to cancer. Our thoughts and condolences are with Mr. Weighton’s family at this difficult time. 

His family confirmed that he died peacefully in his sleep this morning (Thursday 28 May 2020) at his flat in Alton, Hampshire, UK.  

Bob Weighton was officially confirmed as the oldest person living (male) at 112 years and 1 day on 30 March 2020.

Amidst the UK rules around social distancing, a GWR adjudicator was unable to meet Bob in person as they normally would to celebrate the remarkable milestone.

Instead, the assisted living home where Bob lived arranged for Happy Birthday to be sung to him on his balcony. He was then presented with his certificate, all from a safe distance.

"It's sad having to say goodbye to Robert so soon after awarding him his certificate for oldest living man. I feel honoured in having had the chance to meet this unique individual - albeit virtually - and to celebrate his life in the pages of our book. Our thoughts are with this family, who I hope will see his entry as a lasting memorial to a remarkable man." - Craig Glenday, Editor-in-chief, Guinness World Records

Bob was born on March 29th 1908, in Kingston-Upon-Hull, Yorkshire and was one of seven children.  

Bob later lived and worked in Taiwan, then Canada during World War II, before returning to the United Kingdom once the war ended in 1945.

Once settled back in the UK, Bob took up a teaching position at City University, London. 

Bob is survived by three children, 10 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.

When told of his record-breaking achievement back in March, Bob said;

“I can’t say I am pleased to hear that the previous holder has died but I am very pleased that I've been able to live so long and make so many friends”.

The oldest person ever to have lived is Jeanne Calment (France), who lived to be 122 years and 164 days, and the oldest man ever is Jiroemon Kimura (Japan), who was born on 19 April 1897 and passed away aged at the age of 116 years and 54 days on 12 June 2013. 

The oldest person living is Kane Tanaka (Japan, b. 2 January 1903) who lives in Fukuoka, Japan. 

Guinness World Records is currently investigating the title for the oldest person living (male). Further information will be announced upon confirmation of the next record holder.
