All Hail the King
We had a coworker's sick child with us today, and she begged him to take her to BK for lunch. Not sure if any of you have ordered a Kid's Meal at Burger King lately, but the next time you do, be sure to read the "Rules of the Crown" printed inside the crown. Apparently, "Whoever places the Crown on his or her head first, then in a loud voice proclaims, 'I am the King' is from that moment forward, in charge." One of my favorite rules of the advanced play is that "The King must speak with some kind of cool accent." There is a Three Second Law - "The King's rule ends when the Crown is removed from their head for any reason, accidental or otherwise, for more than three seconds. The first person to exclaim, 'One…two...three...King' may claim the Crown." I guess this is similar to the three second rule regarding food consumption, but not nearly as disgusting - particularly in a BK restaurant. If you choose to become King, please note that regarding the magnitude of your kingdom, "If you are eating in s Burger King restaurant, your rule extends all the way to the edge of the parking lot. Off restaurant grounds, your rule extends to a radius of 10 feet around you in any direction." Of course, in our incredible litigious society, there is a warning, but it is refreshingly glib. "WARNING: This Burger King Crown is made of paper. Your rule may end prematurely if Crown is exposed to water or flame." (Ha! Just try to get around that one, Bill Green!) Kinda Makes showering and maintaining rule tough. Anyway…. Now, I must run because Chloe has abdicated her Crown for much longer than the required three seconds, and I am only four words away from complete 10' radius domination!
