Clapping, Prince Philip asked the young musicians: "You were playing those instruments, weren't you? There are no tape recorders under your seats?"

"Of all the insulting, idiotic things to say"

It ain't easy being the prince. You make a "funny" and then try to flatter a bunch of kids and then the fiberbabe and the ever-so-correct press parse your comments like a pedant with a irregular verb up his butt.

While watching a mock battle of dancing aboriginals (sic) you say to the chief with a smile, pretending you're afraid...
"Uh chief, you don't do that no more do you?" That's wit.

After listening to a childrens band play "God save the Queen" you say to them...
I can't believe my ears do yall have tape recorders under you chairs?" That's flattery.

Prince Baby, doncha get it. It ain't what you say, God bless you, it's who you are and what you represent, that makes 'em so mad. Take a little tip from the Milum- If you think there is any way in forty hells that your remarks can be misconstrued, don't say it, they will.

Note: ( I learned this lesson on the Awad Board, But then again, maybe I didn't. Fiberbabe and everyone, please ignore this post.)
