TV news coverage of Prince William's first day at nursery school (about two weeks ago) left me with a question: Why did his teacher, Jane Mynors, curtsy to Prince Charles and to Princess Diana but not to Prince William ? Is it a matter of age, did the teacher goof, or was the news coverage of this monumental event done poorly ? If it is a matter of age, when will Prince William be accorded a curtsy ? I have asked one British couple and they think it is a matter of age, but, are not sure. And they certainly would like to know the answer, too. Does anyone know for sure ? Thanks... -------------------------- bob adolt bobhic!aluxe --------------------------

To do this to Prince William,Jane would've had to dig a small trench so that she would be able to curtsey to a proper level. Seeing that she left her backhoe in her car, she decided not to curtsey. Supposedly Prince William felt that this was poor planning on her part and ordered her immediately shot. As of present, her identical twin is currently living Jane's life. Jane was, of course, immediately shot. -- Another wunnerful letter from the semi-intelligent rotting brain of: Paul Kirsch St. Joseph's University Philadelphia, Pa { astrovax | allegra | bpa | burdvax } !sjuvax!kirsch I'm outside right now...do you know where your children are ?

No, the Prince does that, as Mike Kelley reported some time ago in the Austin American-Stuntman. Kelley also reported that at some unspecified point in the probably distant past, that ubiquitous British secret agent of yore (or wherever it is he's from), 007 by number, once cornered and took into custody a particularly roguish specimen of the local criminalia. Without access to any more suitable facility for containing the scoundrel, 007 escorted the same to his hotel room and after appropriately binding and gagging him confined him to the bathroom. This of course is the first recorded instance of a suspect being held in loo of Bond. Interesting, if true. -- Jim Crandell, C. S.
