Un-Bear-able^^^

Once upon a time, in the merry old days of King Arthur, Sir Lancelot the Valiant and Sir George the Dragon Slayer, there lived a brave knight called Sir Valentine. These days of yore still had a phase between friendship and love and many a brave knight traveled the countryside on their trusty steed to court fair maidens. While Sir Valentine had all the attributes expected of a knight, he had one minor flaw. He had a weak bladder. Whenever he started to court a lady, the inevitable would happen.


Needless to say, the sight of urine flowing down his leg was a real turn off (or whatever the term they used in those days). Soon the ladies would giggle to each other whenever he approached to court them. It was sad to see such a perfect knight ruined by such a minor flaw and to go down in history being known only by his nickname---

Sir Lancelot was out in the moors of merry ol’ England late one evening. As he could not see any village nearby, he laid down to sleep for the night on the grass. He was rudely awakened when he felt some warm liquid on his face. He looked around and found himself in the midst of a flock of sheep, quietly grazing. It did not take him long to conclude that they were
