Queen Elizabeth Says: "That Shit's Bananas!"
By Mickey Boardman
"That shit's bananas," as MM's close friend Gwen Stefani says. Although it might not be proper etiquette to curse when writing about her Maj, Queen Elizabeth II was presented with some nice bananas when she visited a hospital. Betty Taylor explained that when she was a four-year-old during WW II, Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother (the late mum of Elizabeth II) came to the hospital and brought bananas which were super scarce during the war, as a treat for the patients. Betty, now 69, thought she'd repay the favor. Sadly they look a bit on the mushy side -- the bananas not the ladies! Meanwhile, MM hears that Prince William of Wales gave his granny Nintendo's Wii for Christmas and she's obsessed! Rule Britannia!
