It is true that the Queen possesses an Ebookwise 1150. I have seen it with my own eyes.
However, there may be reasons of state why she does not list all the devices that she may (or may not) possess.

Makes me think of a Benny Hill joke where a MP got drunk and loudly referred to the PM as a "blithering idiot". He was sentenced to a fine of 10 pounds for being drunk and disorderly, and sentenced to 10 years for violating the Official Secrets Act....

It's always time for regicide. Only way to speed things up, if you ask me.

Unfortunately this is a lesser punishment after the intervention of the Geneva convention as I believe it used to require baby sitting the SHUMs in the mornings after the nights before.

No, that's RegisAde, the fruit punch of royalty, made by, for, and of them.

I'm sure there would be much less crime in the Queendom if this were enforced regularly! But, that might put Red out of a job, and nobody wants that!!

Ummm.... regicide does mean the elimination of a rather annoying bit of Windows that slows everything up, doesn't it?

"...bit of windows..." should have read "...bit of inbreeding...", present Queen excepted.

Are you sure? I thought there was also some Heisenberg there as well.

He was a pound kitty, so there could be any number of species involved. Pound kitties, BTW, make good eating!

Badgers are black and white furry critters, yes? You're not secretly trying to acutelate the royal one, are you?

Badgers are black and white and red all over? Newspaper! They control the 4th estate now! These cute little animals are going to be the death of print journalism, because they don't have thumbs and poor typing skillz.

I thought Le Président just got the cheese (or is it that they're the big cheese?)

I like cheese.

No. They're just surprised to see you.


Just don't shake their hand.

Or the result of furious dancing to Spandau Ballet whilst wearing Spandex?

It will look like a tire blowout on a hot summer freeway!
It says I must put more words into this message.

It sure beats the previous campaign with two brain dead guys sitting in a car at a drive thru are discussing their love for RegisAde in a not-homosexual, not-heterosexual, just creepy closeness sort of way.

A new development !
Read about this, because you won't see it on TV !


A man is looking at the camera with a smile and a microphone in hand.
He whispers :
"Hello ladies and gentlemen. You are surely aware that the old controversy was brought back to the general attention following some words by Queen Z.
In order to solve the mystery once and for all, I have decided to go to the heart of the matter.
You now see me at the door of the Queen's office, where I will try to find out more about the situation."

He opens the door, and enters. The point of view follows him in the room.
The reporter disappears a few seconds and we hear the door close.
He then looks around, to determine the best starting point for his search.

Then he hears a voice :
- Jesus is watching you.
Startled, he looks around, but there is nobody but a parrot, near a fish tank.
He then starts his search from the desk.
There is nothing important on the desk, a declaration of war with Down Under with a post-it marked "Just in case", another post-it with the code the QueenDom's nuclear arsenal (42, of course), ...
Then he hears again :
-Jesus is watching you.
This time he's sure, it's the parrot that talked. This stupid animal is going to raise the alarm, talking nonsense like that !
- Shhh
With a nasty look at the parrot, he opens a drawer to continue his search.
A box of sweets, a few pens, a mighty reserve of post-its, nothing really important
- Jesus is watching you
- Aww come on ! Hey parrot, it is you, Jesus ?
- No, I'm not Jesus, I'm Pipelette !
- That's a stupid name for a parrot
- I'm not a parrot ! Jesus's the Stetson.
- With that shade of blue, you sure are a parrot !
From the top of the fish tank comes a sound :
- Norwegian blue, beautiful plumage.
- Aaahh a talking hat !!
- I told you Jesus was the Stetson !
- Hey wait a minute, this is a tank of fish, and here ... a blue ... I know !
The reporter turns to the camera, a big smile on his face.
- I have a very important information, a real scoop ! The blue one next to the fish is a ...
- STOP !
The reporter turns around in the direction of the newcomer's voice.
- A ... a talking sock ??
He faints and drops to the floor.
- That was easy, Hugo
- Indeed, Lefty, but it was a close one and we still have work to do.
- How is that ? He didn't say it, and now he is asleep.
- You know, I have a feeling that people are watching us, which means that he wasn't alone.
- You mean that cameraman over there ?
- Yes, attack !
The socks start bouncing towards the camera, and the image starts to shake.
A lot of confusing movements ensue, culminating when the camera drops to the floor.
The lens is broken, but you still can recognize the shape of a hand lying motionless on the floor.
A woolly shape climbs on it, stands straight to its full height, and declares :
- Victory !!

A paw presses the remote, and the screen turns black.
- My Queen, I am sorry that these reporters could enter your office like that. There will be an investigation to determine the causes of this security breach.
- Make it quick and without delay, I shudder to think about how many state secrets got nearly revealed. The Queendom of Pinwheel would have been in dear trouble !
