13. Another one! Saudi King vs French Police
Fri Jul 31, 2015, 07:34 AM
Jul 2015

His Awesome And Induplicable Supreme Whozis, Guardian of the 2.5 Holy Shrines* Etc., King Salman of Saudi Arabia, is currently vacationing on a French beach. With 1,000 of his wives, kids and assorted Royal Dickholders.

The French govt. has police officers guarding the beach area.

King Salman has issued an obiter dickheadum to the French govt. - NO FEMALE COPS are allowed on his guard detail, lest they see His Awesomeness swimming. Which might shake the foundations of the Kaaba or something.

This idiocy has apparently attracted the attention of FEMEN. I sure hope so. We're in for some major lulz if a bunch of half-nekkid Ukrainian feminists show up on the beach to chat with the king of Saudi Arabia.

*One of the many official titles for the Saudi King used to be "Guardian of the 3 Holy Shrines" - Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. That got changed to "TWO Holy Shrines" after June 1967. I just split the difference and give him 2.5 shrines.
