Admiral in
the Alabama Navy
|
During
a tour of the South, I presented my
after-dinner talk to an audience
that included a number of
Senators. They enjoyed my speech so much that
they went
back into session and made me an Honorary Admiral in their
Navy!
A Navy with no ships - I just love this country!
Under an antiquated law (created when Charles II banged
his
head on a ship's low roof!) naval officers do not need to stand
up
when toasting the Monarch. This gives my Scot's blood
endless enjoyment
at formal dinners when the loyal toast is
called!
PS
- It should be noted that I am not the first Scottish Admiral of an American
Fleet. Indeed, the US Navy was started by a Scot - John Paul Jones. He
uttered those famous words on whisky 'I have not yet begun to
drink!'
And recently, the good ol' boys in Kentucky, in
recognition of my continuous adoration of my favourite bourbon (the
108 proof 'Rare Breed' Wild Turkey) asked the Governor to make me a
Kentucky Colonel!! I love the South!
Fellow
Colonels include Winston Churchill, President Lyndon Johnston and Tiger
Woods!
