Under Occupation

I do hope that Prince George, whose parents have listed "Prince of the United Kingdom" and "Princess of the United Kingdom" as their occupations on his birth certificate, realises that he is in very good company.

When Tony Benn was being interviewed for admission to Oxford, the Admissions Tutor asked his father's occupation.

When the attempt was made to fob off that Tutor with "journalist" or something, he ostentatiously mouthed "Peer of the Realm" while writing it down on the form.
