Well, it's not like they need to carry their own luggage
SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee · 25 pts · 1y
Or that they’re limited on luggage space.

Their business is being on show. Not having a black outfit in case of a relative dying or some period of national mourning would be a case of you-had-one-job.

The royal family also travels with a spare sex slave in case the current one dies.

Prince Andrew keeps two at his summer cottage chained up just incase they try to run away again.

Idk man, then they age. Wouldn't he keep them on a rotational basis, considering, you know, the linear nature of time, at least to our consciousness?

I believe the answer there is - two living at any given time.

Common misconception, they don't actually take their sex slaves with them, they acquire new ones at their destination.

That just makes good financial sense and keeps things spicy.

It's always in storage, in islands all over.

Redundancy is so important that they keep a spare spare sex slave and assorted collection of anal beads.

Trump clearly doesn't, he came to Pope's funeral in blue suite...

So did the Prince

We're not allowed to call him that anymore. He went by "the Artist" until his death. Man, fuck Warner Bros.
What where we talking about?
srecko@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y
I believe he started using Prince again since the start of new millenium
dogslayeggs@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Nah, he went back to calling himself Prince in 2000.

One of my favorite SNL skits was them referring to him as "the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince."

Quickest way to get Trump in a black suit is to start calling him “poor” and note that he doesn’t have a big enough entourage or money to also have a black suit. Reverse psychology works well on him and comparing him to others.

I always travel with black clothes because...fuck the State.
We are not the same.

Michelle Obama says she does as well. I suppose a lot of people in the public eye do.

I never travel with black clothes, because I never travel, and don't own any black clothes, because I never wear black, or attend funerals.

Turns out to be a pair of Google eyes in an alleyway.

I so the same but instead of a black outfit it's a change of underwear. Some lessons are learned hard, and some are learned warm and wet.

Took me too long to realize that a "black outfit" isnt a bunch of people with black skin.
I wasn't sure how some Africans would be necessary in the subsequent PR campaign following a death

Lmao, we're all black on the inside. Smoking kills.
DandomRude@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
A blue one is also totally suitable for a funeral, just ask Donnie Orangeutan, he knows all about style and dignity. /s

How frequently are they on holiday?
jagged_circle@feddit.nl · 9 pts · 1y
I think it rounds up to about 100% of the time
jaybone@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y
Exactly. So the probability of someone dying while you are on holiday also approaches 100%. So makes sense to keep that black suit handy.
