I'd been wondering - not a lot, but a bit - about the wedding that is happening this weekend; it's all over the UK news.
Now I realize: it's an American actress he's marrying, not the German Chancellor ... explains why I was getting those odd looks ...

Sending her off to England... don't give me any ideas.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Hah! We'd only have to send her back next March!

Unlikely. We have a habit of packing nasty things into rockets and sending them over the channel.

Don't mention the war! I did once, but I think I got away with it.
So! It's all forgotten now, and let's hear no more about it. So, that's two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads.

War? I thought that this was your generous way of helping us to get rid of some things. How about these target coordinates: 57.89°N 05.47°W. Not much damage to be feared there.

... and then return home in a rocket to the same target coordinates.

To English would presumably refuse to accept delivery. They have enough home-grown incompetent politicians.

It's no use. I don't know how many times I tried to tell him that 'a' and 'ä' are not the same thing. The same goes for 'el' and 'le'.

had to look it up, a British royal wedding... again.
something else to miss. Yawwwwwn.
They really should spice these things up a bit... Game of Thrones has good royal weddings - use some of those ideas: dab of poison here, drop of blood there, that'll get em all talking.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

Given the reports about her dysfunctional family, I wouldn't be surprised.

Isn't this her second marriage?

Me too. Apparently there is a Wendyball game scheduled for the same day.
And the pubs are planning on opening from 07:00, so I'd imagine it'll be a busy day for hospitals and emergency services as well...

They haven't quite spiced it up to Game of Thrones levels but there's a bit of spice -
The groom:
a ginger guy masquerading as a royal when actually he's the love child Diana (only a royal by marriage) and an officer in the British army (definitely not a royal!)
The bride:
an American divorcee (Wallis Simpson anyone?) and she's not white (I'm sure Phillip will have something awkward to say there....)
Not that I'll be watching, it's FA Cup Final Day!

Hey - your prejudice is showing. 
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
I am absolutely certain I don't want to live in a world in which you would never be offended.
Freedom doesn't mean the absence of things you don't like.

Consider this - if they had a son he'd be an American and a British Royal at the same time.
He could be the King of England and the President of the United States at the same time.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Consider this: Boris Johnson was born on the Upper East Side, New York - so he could be UK PM and POTUS at the same time after the next elections.
Now, you think The Donald talks b*ll*cks ...

That's not all.
Under current US law, he would have to pay US income tax on his worldwide income. We thus have the interesting situation of the British Royal family paying taxes to the colonies, rather than receiving them.

Expecting expectations by expecting people who expect to expect something different than i expect, except that i don't expect what they are expecting me to expect differently than they expect. 
I can't get it properly out / in my head. Too many expectations...
BTW: I have no idea where to place a comma in there...
EDIT: Thanks to OG for the comma
