Tower of London
2007 December 11
Today we went to the Tower of London. Turns out, it’s not really a tower. Whateva. Lots O’ Murder and Treachery. Bah, Humbug.
Our tour guide, a yeoman (or meateater, depending) told all of the married women to go to the room of the Crown Jewels and look at the Koh-i-Noor Diamond, and then their wedding ring, and then back, and hold up their left hand near the case to examine the size difference, and scowl, then turn to their husbands and say, “You cheap skinflint!” Everyone laughed. Dang tourists.
And Gawd, these Bri’ish toipes gote lotes o’ blud in ther pawst (say it aloud and you might get it). I mean, it was all, ‘Murder this,’ and ‘blood that’ and ‘torture here’ and ’slaughter there.’ I mean, they could fill an entire unabridged thesaurus with just synonyms for the word “death”. Umph.
Well, thaaat’s all for now, folks! *doodly doo buh bum* (looney tunes)
