When the whole raja thing came about, people came up to me on more than one occasion and asked what it was like to be the brother of a raja. My reply was that it's exactly like not being the brother of a raja, except now people come up to me and ask what it's like to be the brother of a raja. I was tempted to have a t-shirt printed with, "My brother became a raja, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <awoelfleba...@yahoo.com> wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : How you know?

I can only hope that the instructions contained a segment on how to keep from breaking out into uncontrollable laughter when you see them truckin' along to the sound of bagpipe music, wearing their robes and crowns. For once I agree with you, it is about as phony and silly as it gets. And they all look so serious, as if those cheap tin crowns are indicative anything other than bad headgear.
