Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for September 14, 2024

Handsome Princes are a dime a dozen.

Be interesting to find out how she could cut off her hair and then use it to escape.

Wishful thinking — the y-chromosome prevents handsome princes, it only allows toads.

And she wonders why she cannot find a guy. She doesn’t WANT one!

Good rendition of the fairy tale, Holly.

She means without kids.

Rapunzel, not having any job skills except singing, took up a gig with the Rip City Ramblers. She’s now making $500 a day singing on Saturdays at Barney’s Barn O’Beer.

I think it’s a darn good twist to the story.

I know it is a fairy tale, but I never could understand how her hair didn’t ripped out by the roots when used as a rope.

Human hair grows approximately one inch per month. If the tower was merely 40 feet tall, she’d need 480 months to grow her hair that long. Even assuming she’d never cut it, She’d be in her mid-forties before she had enough hair.

Independence and freedom sound a lot more attractive to me than a handsome prince.

That’s a bogus story!

If he loves her he can wait!
