No no I am a man of the people. I require nothing but a little champagne, a Bolivar Robusto if you can get one, and polite laughter whenever a joke doesn’t go over
Seems I recall hearing this saga years ago. This isn't the first time you've shared this with your glowing public, is it? I generally trust my memory, but with such spectacular accounts, I do sometimes have to guard against false dèja entendu.
Tony is my one really colorful relative—I have a few Nobel aspirants, but they are less useful for a humorist and, frankly, I think Tony and I have a very similar temperament. So I do write about him from time to time.
This is LOL fab! And now I can say that I regularly consort with royalty. (Of course, being a Beatles writer, I do that anyroad.)PS Give C&R a chance -- it's incredible. And my advice for s2 (which is really the place to start) don't skip the intros...
PS I imagine that there are a fair number of obscure titled peers floating around the Ivy League.
So, what’s the honorific for something like this? Your Highness? Your Grace? Should we all just default to “my liege”?
“Pay to the order of” is fine
Does this mean we now have to bow and courtesy, or just hand over a portion of our crops, whenever we turn in a cartoon?

EVERYONE who goes to Yale not-so-secretly suspects they are royalty. :-)
Your story reminds me of my "I was once Billy Joel's wife"... which only works without a lot of build-up...
Faith, you “start a fire” you’re bound to get burned :-)
For ten glorious minutes backstage at the Coliseum in Portland, OR, I stood next to Billy Joel posing as his wife. It was a lifetime highlight.
Grazie Alan!
