Here is the joke: (obligatory) The Queen: (to her husband) "Take off my crown." Husband: "Yes dear." Queen: "Now take off my Royal Robes!" Husband: "Yes dear." Queen: "Now remove the rest of my clothing!" Husband: "Yes dear." Queen: "...and don't let me catch you wearing them again!!!!" ******************************************************************* Now for a history lesson: (optional) The Fenians were Irish and they invaded Canada. The Irish, of course, had no love for the English, the royal family and the Loyalists in Canada. The Irish had just suffered years of "Ethnic Cleansing " ( it really means genocide) under the English and many of course had fled to North America. Millions of others starved as the English drove them off their lands and made their language and their religion illegal. A surplus of Corn was burned in England to keep prices high while millions in Ireland starved to death when the potato crop failed. The Fenians tried to get a war going between the US and Canada, so that the US would remove the blight of the British and their Royal family from North America. Too bad they didn't succeed. If the Irish were faced with the same situation today, there would have to be massive bombing of Ireland to force the English death squads out of the country and allow the Irish refugees to return. The "good " citizens of the world would send food, rather than let the Irish people starve while the English ethnic cleansing went on. In the US you are a citizen, in Canada you are a "subject" of the "mafia like" royals that claim a lot of power over the common folk. To this day, the government in Canada appoints the judiciary to enforce their laws and the Queen's name is invoked to make it legal. Nothing can happen legally without the sanction of Betty Windsor. Of course nobody ever got to vote for the Queen, or any of the judiciary. HM ultimately has the power over every single "subject." and the government can decide which issues it will make laws about, without any input from the population. An example: Most Canadians favor the death penalty for capital crimes, but the Prime Minister of Canada says that that is too important a decision to be made by the people. There you go. Subjects! The Australians are trying to become a republic and dump the hold that the monarchy has over their country. It is taking years to get this popular issue to the floor in the Australian Government. The people want it but the government is reluctant to listen to the people. In fact it may be illegal for the Australian Government to do so. Imagine living in a country where it is against the law for the government to act on the wishes of the citizens. Oh of course the Aussies are subjects, not citizens and you don't have to listen to subjects in Australia either. As for Washington being burned down by its own inhabitants... IMHO the US really needs to have a new revolution. The Americans removed the British mafia, only to embrace many new mafias that they now need to get rid of. The US also has Queen Hilary some say. End of history lesson / diatribe . Hope the joke was worth it.
