Walt Disney was known to leave his shopping cart at the grocery store register and go back to get just one more thing even when there were several people waiting behind him in the line to get rung up. Of course Walt would usually then remember something else he needed or be indecisive over something like soup options and thus keep the poor people in line waiting even longer and the cashier would be well finished ringing up his order and looking around for Walt as the uncomfortable seconds ticked by and then finally Walt would come back and make a sheepish apology to those who were waiting and fuming but hey he had given them Mickey Mouse so what was the big deal?

Rowan Atkinson based the character of Mr. Bean on the actions of Queen Elizabeth II when LSD was slipped into her tea on a state visit to the English town of Blawnox-on-Ribble. Atkinson, then 4 years old (or 20, depending on the source) managed to take the only video of Her Majesty tripping and based his career on it.

Queen Elizabeth II never authorized her name to be appended to the ocean liner. Lengthy court battles ensued. Threats of another USA/UK war were made. Deporting John Lennon _back_ to America was promised. Finally, the poor old boat was retired to California, where it’s docked next to the Queen Mary and they trade stories all day long over tea and scones.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury used to dress up as Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary, then prance about London’s East End crying “Oh, la-dee-dah, la-dee-dah!” This was in their youth, of course. As grown men, they put away such childish larks and dressed instead as Beverly Sills and Roseanne Barr.
