June 20, 2019
From an interview with the head Beefeater at the Tower of London:
Q: What’s the worst thing about the job?

(Chief Yeoman Warder Pete McGowran, quoted in Britain Magazine, March/April 2019)

Many years ago, when Pacifican Alan Wald learned that the new Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay would need to fill more than 300 new jobs, he not only applied for a job but also applied to the DMV for personalized license plates for his two cars: RITZ HMB and HMB RITZ. As it turned out, Wald didn't get the job. ("Too old," they said.) Wald muses, "I guess you could say I applied for a job at the Ritz, and all I got were these crummy license plates."
