NEWS FLASH!!!! LORD WESTOVER UPDATES NOBILITY OATH - TO BE TITLED NOBILITY OATH 2.0

The Vast Estate (obviously) - To tragically accommodate the ever decreasing attention spans of troglodytes, His Grace, Lord Westover, has found it appropriate to more simplify the Nobility Oath. It is a move that can only be described as compassionate, amazing and beneficent (obviously).

Increasingly out of public view, Lord Westover
spends much of his time wondering the grounds
of The Vast Estates.

"With Nobility Oath 2.0, now the most simple minded Trog can wrap his limited cognitive elasticity around the basic principles of being Noble," said His Lordship whilst starring off in the distance at the seeming boundlessness of the rolling hills of The Vast Estate, a wine glass in hand, with but a few drops of Merlot remaining, precariously dangling from his near limp fingers.

No further comment fell from His Lordship's lips.

Nobility Oath 2.0
I swear to stop behaving like a selfish jackass and start behaving like a Noble person. That means I will do good things like not be mean or cruel to others. I will not litter. I will not get drunk and pass out at friends' estates. I will not scream at other drivers even if I think they are stupid. I will stop gossiping behind people's backs even though it really makes me feel superior. I will weed and mow my lawn even though it is easy to pretend I leave it to go to seed out of environmental concerns. And, most importantly, I will stop pretending climate change is not induced by humans...including me. I do these things because despite the fact that I look like, act like and feel like a troglodyte I know in my heart that I am, as well as all others, a Noble human being deserving of respect despite all the evidence to the contrary.
