ROYAL VISIT

THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND ACTUALLY TOOK THE TIME OUT OF HER BUSY SCHEDULE TO VISIT THE SOMEWHAT LESS THAN SOPHISTICATED AMERICANS..... OR MAYBE SHE JUST WANTED TO GO TO THE TRACK.

THE QUEEN KIND OF DEMANDS SPECIAL FORMALITIES AND RECOGNITION, AND RIGHTLY SO. AFTER ALL, IT'S NOT EVERYONE THAT CAN BE BORN INTO A LIFE THAT PAMPERS AND SUPPORTS YOU FOR A LIFETIME. IT'S LIKE WINNING THE SUPER DUPER COLOSSAL GLOBAL LOTTERY. YOUR ONLY REAL OBLIGATION IS TO READ UP ON PROPER ETIQUETTE ABOUT JUST HOW ALL THE LITTLE PEOPLE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO YOU. THEN YOU CAN WANDER FROM HERE TO THERE AND LOOK DOWN ON EVERYBODY (DON'T LOOK HER RIGHT IN THE EYE ... YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT).

W ACTUALLY GOT ALL DRESSED UP FOR DINNER WITH THE QUEEN. I GUESS IF GEORGE AND LAURA WERE TO RECEIVE A RECIPROCAL INVITE, THE ROYALS WOULD EXCERSISE PROPER ETIQUETTE AND DON COWBOY ATTIRE AT A PALACE BARBECUE SHINDIG.

NOT!
