Generation Gap

Prince Philip, consort to Queen Elizabeth of England, turned 90 last week. For the last fifty plus years he has walked two steps behind the Queen and made numbingly boring small talk with hundreds of strangers every day. To cope with such public role he "cracks jokes" or makes "rude remarks". Samples below:
-"Aren't most of you descended from cannibals?" - to a museum curator in the Cayman Islands.
- "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?". to a Scottish driving instructor.
-"Do you still throw spears at each other?"  - to an Aboriginal leader in Australia.
-"You look like you're ready for bed" - to the President of Nigeria in his traditional costume.

The British P.M. praised the "Duke's unique turn of phrase. A compendium of Philip's best lines is written in "Duke of Hazard: the "wit and wisdom" of Prince Philip." Somehow that sub-title sounds familiar - like that on the cover of "The Eagle Blue Chronicles." Perhaps I should call in Scotland Yard.
