G'day Bob,

Replying to a message of Bob Lawrence to Jeff Green on 11-05-96:

 JG>> The King James 1927 version (revised) :-)

 BL>   I have a soft spot for James I. He came down from Scotland, broke,
 BL> and suddenly realised that he could sell knighthoods, so he knighted
 BL> everyone he met and charged them a thousand pounds. In the end, no
 BL> one would go anywhere near him for fear of being knighted!

 BL>   He also had a problem with a large tongue and he spat all the time,
 BL> like Daffy Duck. What with being knighted for a thousand pounds and
 BL> spat at in a thick Scots accent, everyone gave him a clear berth.
 BL> When they said "Make way for the King," people bolted for France.

 BL>   He was also an Olympic-class fucker, like all Stewart kings, and not
 BL> the slightest bit fussy where he put his dick. He fucked anything and
 BL> everything.... there was nothing queer about Jamie.

 BL>   James was my kinda king! Another couple like him, and we'd have been
 BL> a republic *before* Captain Cook arrived.

I take it that came from the Columbia Concise Encyclopaedia (revised) ?

Regards...Jeff (jeff{at}grntrs.dialix.oz.au)
