That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 01, 2018

Bruce the Blowhard was so enthralled by himself in shiny armor that he just trotted by the maiden in despair.

I hope both of them remember the safeword.

anything is fine between consenting adults.

Hope she remembered her can-opener this time.

Darn, now I’m going to have to share the rabbit I just bagged.

Kind sir, can I borrow your phone to call a tow truck? My escort fell into the pit.

My knees are killing me! Next time we’re going to do the chauffer and the rich old widow.

“It’s okay – we’re just waiting for Triple A!”

This is Gareth and Lymette from the Arthur legend. Read all about it at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gareth. It’s not very faithful to Malory; Gareth should look more like a kitchen boy than a knighr at this point.

The knight, on the other hand, had a very clear idea how much to tup.

One serious game of Troll Bridge.

Damn – why do people turn up when you are desperate for the loo?

She’s a ginger. IT’S A TRAP!

Tip? Just tip him over, and he’ll pay YOU to help him stand back up.

“The Black Knight’s on a bathroom break. He’ll be back in a moment.”

The armor was hard, heavy and inhibited movement, so it was worth taking off, but it took so long even if you had the special wrenches.

Well, if the armor was shiny the knight likely had not much battle experience. At least not in that armor. Perhaps he’s wearing his Sunday best, just for you. Or he’s a wannabe “knight” with too much money.

God almighty, now they’re putting pumpkin spice in paintings; stop the madness.

Gareth, it’s kind of you of offer, but as you can see, I already took care of him myself.

Egad and yoicks!! Yet another protester tied to a tree just so they can ruin my parade! :>)

Standard tip for maiden rescue is 20 percent. If the service is good, it’s 25 percent.

“What’s in it for me?”

Watch out for knights in shining armour. The suit comes with iron gloves.

“Firstly, l’m not a ‘wench’. And secondly, I can’t fetch you a pint of ale because I’m a bit tied up right now.”

The Perils of Pauline before there were railroad tracks to be tied to.

“Pardon me – might you perchance have any Grey Poupon?”

Well, more than just the tip would be nice…

Black Knight: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on then.

[Hopping on one leg towards King Arthur]

[King Arthur chops his other leg off, leaving his body upright on the ground.]

Black Knight: Alright, we’ll call it a draw.

King Arthur: Come, Patsy!

Black Knight: Oh, oh I see. Running away, eh?!

.

Monty Python

Ah, the old ‘Damsel in Distress" scam.And when the knight gets down to help the ’damsel’, she ‘tips’ him into the ravine and makes off with his horse. I see she’s gotten one already

She: “My boyfriend was trying to do some kinky stuff that I didn’t want to do, but he fell into the ditch.”He: " This just ain’t your day, girl."
