Cruel but fair

So, Great Britain's very daft Prince Charles is getting re-married...

A radiant Camilla, wearing a fuchsia gown and clutching a black evening bag, showed off her engagement ring — a royal family heirloom, platinum band with a square-cut central diamond and three sparkling baguettes on each side. Next to her, Charles smiled proudly and blushed, hands held behind his formal jacket, head angled at a princely tilt.

"Of course," the bride-to-be said when asked at the Windsor Castle reception if Charles had gotten down on one knee to propose. "I'm just coming down to Earth."

... which yields the Quote of the Day:

"I give Chuck credit for originality. Most guys his age ditch the old battleaxe and pick up a trophy wife. He ditched the trophy wife and picked up the old battleaxe."
