"Our beloved Prince Albert has become entrapped in a cylindrical container," cried British Prime Minister Tony Blair over international airwaves yesterday morning. Long thought to be an old English legend, the hitherto unknown crown prince Albert Windsor was discovered to be trapped early Tuesday after a rubbish transport facilitator (garbage man) heard a strange pounding noise coming from the inside of a garbage bin. Top British scientists have X-rayed the can, to no avail. "The interior of this particular bin is coated with a layer of lead," remarked one of the radiologists at the latest press briefing. "We can't even drill an air hole until we learn what position the immobile prince is crouched in. He may be in the fetal position, but we have no way of knowing that."
A suspicious man arrested in connection with the "canning."
The incident has sparked an international outcry, with millions of donations pouring in. Common folk the world over are trying to find empathy with the prince by sealing themselves in metallic containers, the act of which is now termed "Alberting" and is catching on among teenagers. Music superstar Bono is planning a new album to give hope to the prince, as well as any other people trapped in cans. Even President Bush was somber when told the shocking news:
"When I first heard about Prince Albert being trapped in a can I was 12 years old. I wanted to help, but I had no idea where the can was that Al was in. So I regularly called people randomly on the phone asking if they had prince Albert in the can. I for one was surprised by the lack of insensitivities that people showed against the prince."
Though numerous landfill ecologists and escape artists have been brought in at the behest of the Blair administration, none can figure out a way to retrieve the prince.

Don't mention it, magical flying lady!
But it's all dependent on Roboshrub. He picked the original template. If he doesn't like it, I restore it to the way it was.
But I'm fully confident that he will accept the inevitable.
And apparently, the inevitable is extremely evitable. We must learn to live with it.
Dear Ed,
That is so enlighning. I always thot he was a figament of a 1956 teenagers imagination.
The things you can learn on the internet, tis amazing!!
Yes, the Internets are an amazing place.
Would a sonic can opener help? I think I have one in my other Old Navy Cargo Shorts somewhere.
Is that the same as the beer?
The poor prince! Someone help that ponderous noble!
DON'T TRUST THE COKE! Pepsi is the way to go...
That's what I keep saying, but I keep getting visions of orange soda.
Libel! Wait, did you say Albert or Edmonde? Because I can attest to the fact that Edmonde is alive and well, ruining my plans. Ever single day.

That is funny! Believe it or not, I actually have a Prince Albert tobacco can from many years ago! Ha, I always enjoy your creativity.
It's a very serious matter! If the price isn't retrieved, who will be the next powerless figurehead for the British Empire?!
free him?!? DON'T YOU REALISE WE PUT HIM IN THERE FOR A REASON, oh if only that tony blair could keep his mouth shut.
What a country!
Reminds me of the time Abraham Lincoln was forced to build ten log cabins in one day. That's why he bacame president in the first place.
