The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.

Britsh Royalty Caught in Hair Cheese Scandal!

Everyone know that the British are funny, and that British royalty is everything British squared. Cheese is also funny, and the concept of a "South Wales cheese factory" is about the best venue for cheese-funniness that I can think of. Now hair usually isn't thought of as funny. Normally you think "dumb" when someone mentions hair, but I believe the "British royalty" and "South Wales cheese factory" are enough to carry the hair part. Thus, I'd say this is a pretty funny story.

So Prince Philip was on a tour of the university that's all famous and stuff 'cause it has it's own cheese factory and the little brat refused to wear a hair net. Now, in Down Under, if you go near a vat of cheese without a hair net, the cheese has to be condemned and no one can eat it. So the university is all honored 'casue they've had a "royal visit," but it's left them with all this condemned cheese.

If you have yet to see the humor in this situation, let me offer a few more choice selections from the article:

  • Australian bush cheeses
  • vat of condemned cheese
  • rogue hair
  • The farming town of Wagga Wagga
  • Barry Lillywhite, the university's head of cheese.

You should be laughing now. See, 'cause it's funny. So you laugh.

Over.  End of Story.  Go home now.
