Guys back then were permanently messed up from shellshock, too.

The difference back then was government let em drink a lot and take it out on each other and family. Because government wasnt going to help them, other than to tell them to get over it. Now not so much.

A couple of these were cringeworthy, but the rest were just a man speaking his mind, and plenty of them were very funny. He obviously knew he had the tendency to step in it now and then, and I appreciate his being honest and good-humored about that.

RIP

Methinks Prince Philip would have fit right in with me and my friends. It sounds like he kept the British Peerage’s knickers twisted in knots for 70 plus years. I for one, think they and the world was better off by him being in it.

RIP Prince Philip
A life well led.

of their comments caused the most uproar.
Rest In Peace Prince Phillip.

I think at some point endlessly playing second banana to his wife he removed all filters and just said whatever he wanted and he saw lots of odd stuff over the decades-

Sounds sensible to me.

Especially relevant NOW

I had never heard this one. His son said he didn't suffer fools gladly:

39.
A VIP at a local airport asked HRH: “What was your flight, like, Your Royal Highness?

Philip: “Have you ever flown in a plane?”

VIP: “Oh yes, sir, many times.”

“Well,” said Philip, “it was just like that.”

To then Paraguay dictator General Stroessner: “It's a pleasure to be in a country that isn't ruled by its people.”

Slipped the knife in so smoothly he didn't even feel the sting.
