I'd make a crack about the pot calling the kettle black, but
that would probably get me branded as a racist....

Making a statement as blatantly hypocritical as that one is hard to
understand. I thought elitists were supposed to be really top flight
people.
But when one is an aristocrat with billions and a title you wouldn't
believe
she could fault anyone for being an elitist. Somebody get the lady a
mirror.


It's easy to identify an elitist.

1. They pronounce "nuclear" with one "u" and an "e."

2. Their wine bottles have corks in them.

3. They have visited a foreign country where adults ride bicycles.

5. They don't eat cheese that comes in an aerosol can.

That may mean that the rest of the world outside the US is elitist. I
have had the stuff when living in the US but never seen it outside and
whenever I mention it to various people in the UK and Europe people they
seem amazed by the thought. Whipped cream in a aerosol can is common.

6. They don't turn their underwear inside-out to get another day out of it.

7. They've never stuck a blowout patch on their muffler.

8. They don't have rings on their foreheads where they've smashed empty beer
cans.

9. They don't carry a P-38 can opener on their keychain.

10. Their keys are not chained to their belts.
