It's Good to Be King


I thought it would be fun to get a Burger King crown for my friend who turns 28 today. Who doesn't love those crowns? I was surprised to find written on the inside of the crown The Laws of the Crown. Essentially, if you're the first person in your group to put your crown on, you get to be king and reign until something makes you... not king. It gets more interesting

Advanced Play
1. There can only be one king.
2. The king always gets his/her own 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... The king also determines who gets the remote, who rides shotgun and, of course, who pays.
5. Rule ends when crown is removed (accidental or otherwise) for more than 3 seconds.
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. (I love that they take into account the 28-year-olds playing the game!)

Coup D'Etat
If everyone agrees you completely stink as king, your rule may be renounced. This constitutes a Coup d'etat. A new king may be crowned if the group can reach a unanimous decision...

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 ft 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.

I love it!
