Grampa Simpson in the house

Dad: "Did I ever tell you about the time I met the Grand Duke of Luxemburg?"
Me: "NO!" [Beat. Beat. Beat.] "But do tell."
Dad: "Montreal. Winter of 1976. I was there working Olympic security..." [At which point, the story becames a little long winded - short version: he was posted as sentry for a press conference by the IOC President and Vice Presidents - the VPs were the Grand Dukes of Lichtenstein and Luxemburg.] ".... and then he shook my hand. I doubt it if he'd remember me."
Me: "Good call."
