After being made a Knight, Billy Connolly wrote to Eric Idle:
“Dear Eric, As you rightly observed, I was knighted this morning, and, in my new position as Knight of the Realm, I have decided that I will no longer squander my good time by hanging out with scruff like you. So you can fuck off.”
Eric responded on Twitter:
“Sir Billy sent me a personal message to fuck off now he is a Knight. Very honored to accept.”
Love and respect always go hand in hand.
