Well, because you are not on the off topic thread I have to respond here. Actually you misunderstood, it was O'Jerk, a branch of the O'Neil Family, the kings of Ulster. The Neils rotated the position of king, but the Jerks never got their shot because the Brits showed up too soon. So in the eyes of history you will, alas, be only a Jerk Prince. The Neils won Ulster in a boat race, the first to set hand on the Province was to win it for the clan. Seeing he was going to lose, the Chieftain of the Neils took an axe, cut off his left hand, and threw it to the shore and therefore his hand touched Ulster first. Thus, the Bloody Red Hand of Ulster, seen even to this day on the Ulster shield. I too am a Prince, as Sleigh was a son of the Neils who never became king. So you, as a Jerk, and I as a Slevin, are distant relatives. Whenever anyone asks about my family the first thing I do is think of you; I say "Those Jerks?".
