A SHOCKING 700 people have come forward claiming to be superstar Prince’s half-siblings in a race to secure the singer’s multi-million dollar fortune.
The possibly apocryphal story of a bus with five people on it crashing somewhere in urban America and 70 people turning up claiming whiplash.
“The possibly apocryphal story of a bus with five people on it crashing somewhere in urban America and 70 people turning up claiming whiplash.”
I was in the States in about 1994 when that story came on the TV news. The Feds had staged a bus crash ( at about 3mph) and dozens of people got on the bus after the bump and claimed to the cops and paramedics that they’d been injured. Result: dozens of prosecutions! Needless to say, it was in one of the more ‘diverse’ parts of NYC.
Legend has it that the first step on the Dublin Bus driver SOP in the event of an accident, is to count the number of passengers.
But a DNA test will surely sort out the 700 fakes amongst the 700.
This just goes to show we’re better than Americans.
Nobody came forward claiming to be Jimmy Savile’s offspring.

That’s why he stuck to very young girls and dead people. No chance of offspring

Nope, a bogus daughter came forward.
When the US government offered aid to Black farmers, more people applied than there were actually Black farmers in America. There ain’t that many Black farmers – a surprisingly small number actually.
As for the 700, well that would be hard to believe. Dennis Rodman’s biological father Philander Rodman, Jr. moved to the Philippines. The number of children he has had varies. Dennis Rodman has variously put it at 28 or 29 or 47.
Now Philander has been trying hard. So to speak. In a Third World country where a US military pension goes a long way. He hasn’t broken into three digits. I don’t see Prince’s father doing better than that.
dearieme – “But a DNA test will surely sort out the 700 fakes amongst the 700.”
Well that is a very Deoxyribonucleophobic. I demand the right you acknowledge that I am, really, what I feel I am. And if my DNA says that I am not Prince’s half-brother, well, that is a problem with the racist social construct that is modern science.
Because I am. So gimme some money.

Meanwhile, it’s apparently SOP for the cops to call their union rep before calling for help when they shoot unarmed people. Let the victims bleed out; that way, they won’t be witnesses.
Wouldn’t it be fun if all 700 were to receive a share. After legal fees.
Here’s a cheque for $2,000 dollars. But I’m a millionaire! No, Prince was a multi millionaire, you get 1/700th of the share after fees. But I need the money! Take it up with your extended family.
