E, ba gum, Charles!

While attending the Pope's funeral, and no doubt grumbling over the inconvenience of having had to move his own wedding and miss the Grand National because of it, His Royal Prince Charlesness chanced to shake hands with Zimbabwe's crazed psychopathic evil dictator Dr. Robert Mugabe.

HRH's press sec immediately issued a statement that Mugabe caught the Prince by surprise. I might venture to suggest that it does not speak well for the Prince's mental agility, that when proffered the hand of a brutal butcher the Prince immediately returned the handshake instead of immediately decking the bastard. For crying out loud, Charles, he's a lot older than you are. I bet your dad would have taken him out in spite of his age, or failing that said something really nasty about him. Boy, that would have shown him.

OBTW: Just how did Mugabe get to the Vatican anyway? HE'S BANNED FROM ENTERING THE EUROPEAN UNION. All right, so technically Vatican City is a separate state and not part of the EU....

BUT ROME AIRPORT IS PART OF THE EU, SO HOW DID HE GET TO THE BLEEDIN' VATICAN IN THE FIRST PLACE? GAH!
