It's official, I'm the King


You might not have known you were playing, but you were and I won. I'm the King (or Queen) I don't care how you look at it, I'm in charge, so there.


Here is how I win, according to the rules on the back of the Burger King crown that Tawny and I got on Friday when we had lunch at Burger King: Yes, I took the crown from my daughter in order to assure my Kingdom.


A)Adjust size and be the first to place on head.
B) Whoever palces the Crown on his or her head first, then in a loud voice proclaims, "I am the King" is from that moment forward, in charge. Rule ends if Crown is removed (see Coup d'etat). Crownings can happen anywhere, at anytime.

Advanced Play
1. There can only be one king.
2. The King always gets his/her way.
3. The King must speak with some kind of cool accent.
4. The King makes all the important decisions governing selection of TV channels, movies, radio stations, as well as popular activities like snowboarding, pool hopping and cow tipping. The King also determines who gets thee remote, who rides "shotgun" and, of course, who pays.
5. Rule ends when Crown is removed for more than 3 seconds. (see three second law.)
6. Disagreement with the King results in a "penalty." This is decided by the King. Common penalties include: forfeiture of fries, surrender of video game controller and banishment from office cubicle.

Three Second Law
The King's rule ends when the Crown is removed from their head for any reason, accidental or otherwise. The first person to exclaim, "One...Two...Three...King" may claim the Crown.

In the Event of a Tie
If two people Crown themselves King simultaneously, the person whose birth date is closest to Dec. 4, 1954 (date the frist Burger King restaurant is opened) is King.

Coup D'etat
If everyone agrees you completely stink as a King, your rule may be renounced. This constitutes a Coup de'etat. A new King may be crowned if the group can reach a unanimous decision. If not, the Three Second Law applies.

Kingdom
If you are eating in a Burger King restaurant, your rule extends all the way to the edge of the parking lot. Off restaurant grounds, your rule extends to a radius of 10 feet around you in any direction.

Warning: This Burger King crown is made of paper. Your rule may end prematurely if Crown is exposed to water or flame.
Do you see how this works now? I'm taking off the crown to go to bed, who is the next King?

I read the back of a crown hat about 3 months ago - HELLOOOO...who knew burger king had a sence of humor. With that, I am unsure how you do not get the humor of "The Office" - Do I need to convert you? We have the box sets of the seasons? haha
