Emperor Norton Not Forgotten
A San Francisco tour guide reprises Emperor Norton, handing out bonds in the city he once claimed to rule.
I dropped Julie off at lunch with her girlfriends and was driving to the dry cleaner's when I spotted this chap leading a tour group. I'm a huge fan of people who're doing bits, so I went up and said hello and it turns out he's reprising the role of Emperor Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. He's got these tour groups going on around the city and all that.
He gave me a bond that pays a princely 5% on a 50-cent face value. I'm rich!
