Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
Adolf Frederick, the King of Sweden, died after having consumed a meal consisting of
'lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, kippers and champagne, which was topped off with 14 servings
of his favorite dessert'
(semla served in a bowl of hot milk)

He is thus remembered by Swedish school children as "the king who ate himself to death."

Talking of Adolf Frederick, a friend of mine, with whom I work, was chatting to someone in a pub and he asked him where he lived.

Stockholm was the reply.

And then he asked him what he did there.

'I'm the king' he said.

He is- King Carl Gustaf of Sweden!

Wow, that's pretty bad when you literally eat yourself to death after one meal! Anyway, I didn't know it Joy.
