The phrase that will always be identified with him is, ‘the king is a fink’.

You don’t choose your legacy.

HURRAAAAAAAY!

Most popular speech ever. But the writer doesn’t hear the cheers in the dungeon. The rack makes too much noise.

I wonder who is next in line for the throne after the Fink’s short reign?

Nixon

Today I realized that the Fink is styled after a playing card monarch. Astonished.

that writer is fired… :J

“How about a deck of cards?”

Not for the departure… but I have two matching — but differently colored — decks of cards that honored Elizabeth II’s coronation.

" I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow" – President Richard M. Nixon.

(Don’t let the helicopter blades hit you on your way out.)

Yes I guess that would stir the peasants, but don’t give them false hope short stuff.

The speech writer was promptly hung. Surely though the King would realize what the speech started out as.
