Queen Mum, Morning Walks + Drunken Shrub
When QD was a young woman, she lived with the Queen Mum in a nice terrace apartment on the third floor. The Queen Mum is a sprightly and impeccable sovereign with a tendency to eccentricity. One of QD's favorite recollections is of the QM's reading habits...
The Queen Mum was far above purchasing tabloids like the National Enquirer, but she was a curious woman and an early riser. Our downstairs neighbor was a subscriber to said journal and tended to sleep in. So on a weekly basis, the Queen Mother would gently descend the stairs and avail herself of our neighbor's magazine, read said rag, and return unharmed.
In this manner, the Queen Mother gleaned many a fact and wild suspicion with which she would delight and entertain the adolescent QD. Sometimes, when the tales of Celebrity were too, too tall and outragous, QD would indignantly announce, "This is bullshit!"
And the Queen Mum would smile her beatific smile and murmur wisely, "Where there is smoke there is fire."
Queen Mum, this one's for you: "Bush's Booze Crisis!"
I remain your highly skeptical, enormously entertained and eternally adoring granddaughter!

Very funny indeed:) Two things, we lived on the second floor and no one can remember 'borrowing' said rag.
