I had read about Happy Hooligan decades ago but had forgotten he existed. Imagine being made king simply because you crash landed somewhere. To quote the Wizard of Oz "times being what they were, I accepted the job". And then it was all a dream, of course. Thanks Martini, that was fun.

It's a strategy too-infrequently employed. I'm going to crash into Belgium, declare myself sovereign and see if it sticks.
Good luck! Bring us back some chocolates.
