Ok, last one for today:
A young peasant wanted to marry the king's daughter. The king didn't like the idea of his daughter marrying a peasant, but he wanted to appear fair. The king said that he would put 2 pieces of paper into a hat, one reading exile and the other reading marriage. Later that day, the peasant overheard the king saying that both pieces of paper would read exile thus ensuring that the peasant would be out of his way for good. The peasant remained undaunted and, as arranged, arrived at the king's court where a large crowd had gathered for the event. The peasant then did something that assured him the hand of the king's daughter. What did he do?
Cut off the hand of the princess.
LOL.
Put his seed in the princess' womb?
Ok... my real answer. Not sure if this would work or not.
Before he draws something from the hat, he states in front of the audience that he will do the opposite of what he draws. Seeing as how it's in front of several witnesses, the king has to concur.
Close.
My answer would work! :(
Hmm...
He takes one out, destroys it and says that's the one he wants. Then he takes the other one out and shows it to the audience and it says exile, so he gets it? :D
Ｈｅ ｔｅｌｌｓ ｔｈｅ ｋｉｎｇ ｔｏ ｐｕｌｌ ｏｎｅ ｆｒｏｍ ｔｈｅ ｈａｔ : Ｐ！
