Less Busy Dmv In Los Angeles
Prince Felipe Edinburgh, husband of Elizabeth of England, is retiring after 90 years of the madding crowd. Published "The Country" at the end of November some of his gaffes come to put them here and I have remembered some of the Esperanza Aguirre took when he was minister of culture, including Sara Mago, great writer.
- In 1947 he asked a railway worker on their chances of promotion, and this he replied: "Oh, my boss would have to die", to which he replied: "Just what happens to me" .
- In China, 1986, told British students with whom he met: "If they stay here longer end up with slanted eyes."
- A few Englishmen who roamed New Guinea were welcomed by the Prince in 1998: "They've managed not to be eaten."
- During a reception at Buckingham Palace, the queen's husband said: "When a man opens the car door for a lady, or have new car or new woman."
- At a party organized in London by the office of the Commonwealth, Duke of Edinburgh went to a black guest and asked, "What exotic place in the world are you from?". The party, which turned out to be Lord Taylor of Warwick, replied: "I'm from Birmingham (central England city)."
- When the marriage Obama visited London last year and was received by the Queen, Prince broke into the conversation to tell his guests: "Surely they are struggling to stay awake!". The U.S. president replied that he had met that day and in London with the then prime minister, Gordon Brown, who led the opposition David Cameron, and also with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev. "Is that you can distinguish them from each other?" He asked then.
- (And this is great) One of their recent trips was during the Pope's visit to Scotland's Holyrood Palace. Seeing that the Scottish Labour Party leader wore a tie with the pattern typical of the area, asked the Tory leader, Annabel Goldie, "And you also wear panties made of this?". The president, very embarrassed by the "uncomfortable questions", replied with great skill the prince: "I can not comment. And if you take them, I could not teach in any way."
to me the truth, I think a man with a sense of humor who does not understand.
