The British monarchy still employs a groom of the stool to wipe the royal's buttocks.

But the point is, and we've done deep research on this, they still have their butts wiped for them. Now, if you don't believe me, you Google groom of the stool. You cannot make this up. You will be reading mainstream university websites, mainstream news articles. It's called the groom of the stool.

The British monarchy has awarded honors to dictators such as Mussolini, Ceaușescu, and Mugabe.

For example, in 1923, they awarded one to Benito Mussolini. That's probably not great. Then they annulled that title in 1940. Or at one time they gave Nikolai Ceaușescu one. Ceausescu got one? In 1978. What? Yeah, Ceaușescu got one. God damn it. They annulled that one in 1989. This is why we can't have the queen running things, Dan. Or that one time they gave an honorific title to Robert Mugabe. I was actually going to say, did they give it to Mugabe? That was going to be my joke. That was going to be my joke answer to that. Jesus Christ. In 1994, they gave Mugabe the same KBE title. They annulled that one in 2008.
