They didn’t. The first sentence is completely non-sequitur. Just some fan of the royals trying to justify the story in a Jewish publication. Horribly written story, more along the lines of gossip.

Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on that plane but gave up his seat to the Big Bopper who was sick.

Yes, I wasn’t saying the helicopter was not owned by a muslim, I was saying it didn’t pick them up from a “Jewish event”.

Sir Paul??? What a freaking joke! It’s like the US electing a kenyan. The title used to mean something.

It gets worse . . . Sir Elton and Sir Mick.

They wanted to knight Bowie too, but he had the good sense to decline it.

I think, until they can find recipes that actually taste good, they’ll keep trying.

The recipes are probably no more original than the book title.

“What an awfully inept news report. When did this happen? When they were flying back yesterday?....a week ago?....a month ago?”

I’m still trying to figure out who was so scared he couldn’t speak.

The helicpoter pilot or Paul?
