Princess Melt

[Filonian]

Once upon a time there lived a king. The king had a beautiful daughter,the PRINCESS.

But there was a problem. Everything the princess touched would melt.

No matter what;

Metal,

Wood,

Stone,

Anything she touched would melt.


Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her.

The king despaired. What could he do to help his daughter?

He consulted his wizards and magicians. One wizard told the king, 'If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured.'

The king was overjoyed and came up with a plan, next day, he held a competition. Any man that could bring his daughter an object that would not melt would marry her and inherit the king's wealth.**

THREE YOUNG PRINCES TOOK UP THE CHALLENGE.**

The first brought a sword of the finest steel. But alas, when the princess touched it, it melted, and the prince went
away sadly.

The second prince brought diamonds.

He thought diamonds are the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once the princess touched them, they melted.

He too was sent away disappointed.

The third prince approached. He told the princess, 'Put your hand in my pocket and feel what is in there.'

The princess did as she was told, though she turned red.*

She felt something hard. She held it in her hand.

And it did not melt!!!

The king was overjoyed. Everybody in the kingdom was overjoyed. And the third prince married the princess and they both lived happily ever after.*

Question: What was in the prince's pants?

M&M's of course.**They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.**

What were you thinking??*

I could see it coming but not the M&Ms! (so to speak ). Wasn't it something else in the advert though - I can't quite remember? Too early in the morning.

Treats! That's what it was - Treats melt in your mouth but not in your hand! Oddly enough though I was reading a passage of a book (Junior Officers Reading Club) less than an hour after posting here this morning and that also referred to M&Ms as melt in your mouth but not in your hand - incredible timing.

Okay - I am reliably informed that it was Minstrels (the sweets).

Thanks for the Mintrels Chris ..I knew it was Treats but couldn't remember what they were called now.

Next time you fly Aeroflot, try one of their give-away sweeties.
Infusible!

In 1970, their fags left a lot to be desired as well.
