    I found this one a while ago while looking for contrived and cliched plots for a one-off comedy game.

    So I can tell you that laughs surround the table when the prototypical knight in shining armor attempts to save the damsel in distress princess, who turns out to be an awkward prince.

    I love #26 in the overused characterisations. I hadn't realised that the governor of California is, on his own, an overused cliche. Brilliant.

    Hehehe, it is a running gag over here, but it won't ever happen. The required changes to the Constitution would never get past the people's vote. At least currently. You never know what the future will hold though.
