    Default I didn't realize how funny Prince Phillip (of G.B.) was....

    I was listening to the news this A.M., and they announced Prince Phillip's passing. They also mentioned something that caught my attention, and of course (not being P.C.) I had to look it up. He was hilarious. Prayers to the Royal Family.

    Yeah, unfortunately, in these days of so many being unable to laugh at themselves, his quick wit is now classified as being “insensitive”, Wylie. That’s a tough gig he had, and he did it better than most

    Thanks for that link. Not only served with distinction in WWII and always remembered the veterans. Funny how a prominent individual's life resonates with ours on some level sometimes. A class act that I know will not be repeated in my lifetime.

    The targets of his droll sarcasm (i.e. most of high society) didn't think him funny in the least.

    He never thought it necessary to hide his disdain of anyone he met. He didn't tolerate buffoons, bullies or bloated egos at all. I rather liked him for that...sort of a highbrow version of Don Rickles.
