Prince Philip, he's a laugh....
The All Time Classics"You managed not to get eaten, then?" (To a student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea)
"It looks as if it was put in by an Indian." (Referring to an old-fashioned fuse box in a factory near Edinburgh)
"If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?" (Amid calls to ban firearms after the Dunblane shooting)
"You can't have been here that long - you haven't got a pot belly." (To a Briton in Budapest, Hungary)
"Deaf? If you are near there, no wonder you are deaf." (To young deaf people in Cardiff, referring to a school's steel band)

"Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed." (At the height of the recession)
"It was part of the fortunes of war. We didn't have counsellors rushing around every time somebody let off a gun, asking `are you all right - are you sure you don't have a ghastly problem?’ You just got on with it." (Commenting on stress counselling for servicemen)
"We don't come here for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves."(On Canada)

Rude as he may be, at least Prince Philip can string words together in a coherent manner. President Bush has his own language in the form of Bushisms. A poem at Snopes.com is composed of quotes this world leader has made: http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/piehigher.asp Your post brought Bushisms to mind and I went to DubyaSpeak,com and laughed till tears ran.

Your blog is very good, full of smiles and laugh out loud stuff. I only browsed for 30 minutes or so but it's in my favorites and I have a lot to read yet. Thanks for the smiles.
