Gold Boy Scout Knife

"Gold Boy Scout Knife"

Lisa, a strikingly beautiful young Brunette, sat across
the table from William, in a fancy restaurant. She
smiled as William finished proposing to her. "I'm not
sure, let me think about it." she answered.

William was crushed but kept his composure. After
dinner they went to her place. The mood was romantic
and William was eager to make love to Lisa. She
stopped him and said "Before we get married or even
make love, I want you to buy me something"

"Sure my love, you name it. A car, a pearl necklace,
diamond earrings, you name it."

"I want a solid gold Boy Scout knife."

Stunned William asked, "But why? I can buy you
anything you want. Why must it be a solid gold Boy
Scout knife?"

"I can't tell you, but I won't make love to you until I get one."
William searched high and low but couldn't find the knife.
Desperate, he had a jeweler make one for him.

The next time they met at her place for a romantic evening,
he again suggested they make love. Again she said she
couldn't without first receiving the solid gold Boy Scout knife.
With a smile he handed her a small gift wrapped box. She
carefully opened it and saw the knife.

They went off to the bedroom where she opened a large
hope chest at the foot of her bed. She placed the knife
inside, but not before William saw the contents of the hope
chest. It was filled with solid gold Boy Scout knifes.

"What's this? The whole thing is filled with gold knifes?"

"I can't tell you" she replied.

After several minutes of badgering she finally relented and
said, "Someday I will be older. My hair will turn gray, my
face will start to get wrinkles and my beauty will fade. Who
will want me then? But, can you imagine what a Boy Scout
would do for one of these knifes?"
