Encounters with Royalty
My good friend Jonathan once had to entertain the Queen whilst she had her portrait painted. The night before he was panicking as he didn't know any clean jokes.
Have you met someone royal? Are you royal? We'd like your story...

Governor General of Australia
When I was in high school (yr 11) I went to Melbourne for a UN Youth Conference. After some debates, we created a Youth Declaration that would be presented to the Governor General of Australia, Micheal Jeffery (A some-what royal man, as he is appointed by the Queen). When the day came, we were gathered around him in a room at Parliament house. Highlights of the day are as follows:
* Upon being presented with the declaration, he said "I like this, because it does not have many pages." Lazy asshole.
* A conversation between the GG and I:
GG: "And what level are you on?"
Me: "Sorry?"
GG: "What level?"
At this point in time, I don't know what the hell to say, so a few seconds pass. I eventually realize that he wants to know what grade I'm in at school.
Me: "Oh! Year eleven."
GG: "Ah."
The GG and I then stare at each other for a good 4 seconds - both wondering where to go from there. Before another word is said, somebody across the room starts making a speech, abruptly ending the conversation.
* I walked over to a table with a bunch of sandwiches on it. I started to eat a sandwich because I assumed that's what they were there for, and I wanted a god damn sandwich. I was prompted scolded for eating the first sandwich, as that was an honour only bestowed upon the worthy GG.
SO THAT THAT, GOVERNOR GENERAL MICHEAL JEFFERY! I ATE THE FIRST SANDWICH!!!! AND I HOPE YOUR MEASLY SECOND SANDWICH TASTED LIKE CRAP, AS I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE SANDWICH VIRGINITY!
