Anyone see any job openings for PRINCESS?
I think I'd be perfect for that job, but they're so hard to come by.

1. People never leave them, that's why
Once they get their little mitts on a job like that, they hang onto it tooth and claw. Look at Liz Taylor - she's still milking it. :shrug:

If I see one, though, I'll let ya know. I sure wouldn't do well in the position.

15. Usually you get to keep the title, even if you leave
It's sort of like the golden handshake.

2. I second-interviewed for Empress, but didn't get a call back.
Who knew all those Brazillian jokes would offend the Republicans? :shrug:

3. I keep trying to convince my household that it's my official job title.
But they just continue to mock and contradict my authori-tay.

Sorry, I can't help but be really literal sometimes.

7. I believe that's how Princess Masako got her job
I remember reading somewhere that they actually placed an ad for a prospective wife for the prince. One of the requirements for marrying the heir of a royal family is being a virgin. In some countries that isn't as important though.

Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 07:25 PM by yvr girl
I have the wave down pat. I'm great at accepting flowers. And I must say, my curtsy is impeccable - one must be able to show proper respect to the king and queen.

20. I've been keeping a pretty narrow job search for a Prince position.
I really don't care to apply anywhere else but Sweden.

21. Unfortunately, you would NOT become a prince upon marrying Madelaine.
Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 08:42 PM by CottonBear
She would become Mrs. Nailzberg, Princess Madelaine. Sorry to break the bad news to you. The only way to become a Swedish Prince would be to marry Crown Princess Victoria. You would become H.R.H., Prince Nailzberg and then Prince Consort Nailzberg when Victoria ascendss to the throne. Unfortunately, Victoria and her sister both have serious boyfriends.

edit: I don't know how to spell "Madelaine" properly.

22. Hey, that's not all bad news.
To your first point, I don't really care about the title. As long as I'm married to a princess.

As far as your second point, serious relationships don't always work out. Im optimistic oneof them become single soon.

Victoria is pretty much a babe, too. I just prefer Madeleine. And with her currently residing in NYC, that helps, cause if I try meeting Victoria in Sweden, SEPO will probably arrest me at the airport, because I am apparently obsessed with the Royal Babes.

25. No, go for a country. An earlier post suggested Prince Carl Philip.
I completely agree with that one. He is a pretty hot guy, and I say that as a completely straight man.

And you can help me out with one of his sisters once you've gotten him wrapped around your finger.

hehehe

When mine is happy with me, he refers to me as "my sweetie princess mommy." He fetches things pretty well, too. ;)

28. years ago
when a friend and I were standing in line to collect our unemployment check, which tells you just how long ago it was, we speculated about the sorts of jobs one could put down for which there would never be an opening.

The best we came up with was Wizard.
