Fan Grabs the President's Butt?

But did she really?  I mean, if you click this link and look at the full-size photo at HuffPost, I'd say her hand is in the small of his back.  Still quite a brazen gesture, right?  But them I'm a flustered Brit.

Speaking of which, I once almost backed into the Queen at a prize-giving ceremony at Buckingham Palace.  You do not back into the Queen.  And you certainly don't place a hand anywhere near Her Majesty, especially where her rear is concerned.  You'd probably get thrown in a dungeon for that.  And handcuffed maybe.  Hmm...

Also, I don't think the Queen should wear those trailing gowns while I'm handling a wineglass in the same darn room.

One of my life's regrets?  Once, when I was at uni, taking part in a production of Twelfth Night, I slapped the producer's butt, just for a giggle.  No really.  And then, as soon as I'd done so, I was terribly embarrassed.  He thought it was hilarious and seemed flattered, thank god.  But it's a mark of gender inequality that a woman doing this to a man is more acceptable than a man doing it to a woman, right?  (And interestingly, Twelfth Night, one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, is all about playing with gender).

Lana Fox.  You bum-slapping hound.
