do you like my top hat?



Allow me to introduce the Right Honorable Sir Francis Bacon, baron of Verulam, viscount of Saint Albans, Lord high chancellor of England. We need better a better honorific system in the States. "Mister" just isn't as nice.

We left England to get away from such frivolity. But I like your hat. Does it have 3 corners?

does it have three corners? is that a Monty Python reference or sumthin?

I wish it had a MP reference, but I only know it as an old children's song. It involves gestures and with each repeat of the verse you eliminate a word until you are silent but gesturing

My hat, it has three corners,
Three corners has my hat
And had it not three corners,
It would not be my hat.

Modern day "titles" are CEO, or President, or Doctor. Especially with titles like CEO, they are just as powerful if not more so than the lords of old...

That guy stole somebody's hat, and then he ran and got his photo taken in this frame.
