    I've never had an Out of Body Experience but I have read about them. It's good to hear that the Fonz now has one - although I didn't know they could be awarded.

    I've had one... it was all in my head...

    Congratulations, Fonz, slap the jukebox.

    In this opinion, keeping the practice of knighthood alive in these troubled times is important.

    A tip of the hat to Sir Henry.

    Please kilt up and join The Rabble, Sire, provide a bit more class.

    Sadly, the OBE has been so watered down the concept of modern knighthood is more of a popularity contest.

    It stands for Order of the British Empire.

    I was not aware that it could be awarded to an American though.
