That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 27, 2021

“If you survive the joust, remember to pick up some milk and Junior from school on your way home.”

“Here, let me tie my scarf around your arm as a sign of my favor. And so that all the other guys know you got some last night.”

“Don’t smash your lance into the portcullis again!”

Ok, you have fun playing with the boys out there. I’ll be playing with the boys in here.

The red scarf will make it easier to identify the remains after the joust.

“You look so dashing with your helmet on, probably because it hides your mullet.”

Dost thou knowest why someone would send a missive informing you the warranty on thy steed is about to expire? Shouldst thou be concerned?

‘love your lance a lot…’

Just to know it, my loved, where you put the spare key to the chastity belt?

Before you lower your visor/ advice from someone who’s wiser:/ fulfill her demands/ from those warm Eastern lands/ bring back gifts – and don’t be a miser !

Wait! You’re NOT taking the dining-room curtains with you !

“Ah, yes, Sir Knight, I know you love your lance a lot! " Milady, it’s my best feature and aids me in my thrust!" “So you’ve well taught me , Good Knight!”

“Good luck finding the Grail my love. This is to remind you your favorite color is red.”

“We’ll always have Constantinople.”

Here, I will loosely apply the tourniquet now; when they cut off your arm, you’ll have to tighten it yourself. If he gets your head, well, there’s nothing I can do for that.

I’ll be back when the joust is over — knight-fall.

All the ladies love a man in uniform.

He was famous for bringing up the rear.

Mother says there are some things she wants you to pick up in the Holy Land, Father: a set of eight golden cups with matching plates, red silk pillows and blue brocade draperies, four infidel houseboys, mustard seed and olive oil, and if you see one, a Persian cat.

No sweetie, I don’t believe you a coward for hiding in the back hoping you won’t have to fight, I think you a coward for already waving a surrender flag.

Once a knight, always a knight, but once a night is enough!

Rub my lance for luck my lady. Oh, faster…

When they were married, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had the most elaborate foreplay their money could buy. Nicole left the marriage however after Tom insisted on playing L Ron Hubbard every night leaving Nicole to play John Travolta.

Before you leave dear, where did you store the key to the chastity belt?

Interesting, isn’t it, that lances were about 2 meters long?

“Here is my scarf, for luck! If you get any blood on it this time, don’t come back!”

Pillage a nice shrubbery, for the house.

Come sweet commander, drop your lance and charge into me with your erect standardbearer!

“Give me that! Don’t ‘but I’m a knight’ me, mister. I said you can’t wear the living room curtains into battle, and that’s final.”

“Does your gryphon bite?” “No.” “Aw, cute little..YEOW! I thought you said your gryphon doesn’t bite.” “That’s not my gryphon.”

“Go ahead if you want to. It just seems like a lance-measuring contest to me.”

That’s not a lance he’s holding. She whispered something to him and now we have a

Great Moments In Phallic Portraiture!

Olivia , after a one night stand wishes Malborne a fond farewell,and don’t com back till you have grown a bit.
