I just saw Vanni’s comment, and realised that he beat me to it!

As far as you remember? Do you mean to say that you are a reincarnation of an “errant knight”? Ooooh!

Just to pull your leg:

“As far as I can remember, errant knights went to brothels; they didn’t play around in dim, dank, underground passages.”

1. You have a fantastic memory to remember what happened so long ago.
2. Congrats – You are currently the longest living person on the planet.
3. How do you know what they were up to? Did you also visit the brothels with the naughty knights?

As far as I can remember, errant knights went to brothels; they didn’t play around in dim, dank, underground passages. However, maybe the idea of assignations in a tunnel fires up the imagination of some people. U halluna, FAA!

That must have been just one big rattle. Especially when the ladies were also equipped with their chastity belts.

I am hooked on your posts today. Pure joy!

-“Was that a cockroach, or are you just pleased to see me?”

[Daphne – I bet the romanticists with their trysts and passages haven’t factored the full suit of armour into the equation. Or maybe the ladies came equipped with a particularly effective can-opener.]
