I wrote that a GOOD plastic tiara would not break.

I mean one of those ninety nine cent ones.

Not one of those cheap dime ones from Vietnam.

If I recall correctly that’s exactly what they were, ivory (not pearl). I doubt they were mammoth ivory though.

“Wouldn’t a woolly mammoth tiara be both hairy and horny?”

The former often begets the latter.

I think it depends on the weight of the brother who steps on the tiara.

No doubt someone from Gillette interpreted that.

Patton had a few words about pearl as opposed to ivory.

This sounds like more royal family squabbling.

“Jimmy stomped on my tiara!”

“Tax-chick broke my scepter!”

Meanwhile, us peons are making due with sturdy plastic tiaras made in an American tiara factory in Hoboken.

Should be okay as long as you turn the light on before you walk down the stairs.

“Did you hear that thump?”
“Nope, didn’t hear a thing.”

“Looks to me like that interpretation is a bit forced.”

I know.. It could be an early guitar capo.

Maybe wearing a wooly mammoth tiara was a great hangover cure.

Well, if you’re leaving your tiaras all over the place, then the rest of us have to keep an eye out,

Could have been primitive sun glasses or protective goggles.

That’s how you keep the grant money coming in. Gotta produce something of interest don’t you know. Any ‘artifact’ will do.

Was there a date of manufacture stamped on it?
