  Was she soliciting payment for her autograph? Was her public appearance about giving autographs?

  Don't you use the word queue over there then?
  
  Pissed over hear means drunk, we'd say pissed off which means pissed as you know it.

  Not many use the word queue referring to waiting in line.

  I had a Brit friend who was funny to me. Especially when he would say he had to take a slash and go across the street and pick up some fags.

  We use "queue" but "line" is much more common.

  In England it is perfectly acceptable for the hotel clerk to ask if he should "knock you up"(wake you up).

  She has written several books, so I would assuming it was a book signing. Probably only wanted to sign copies of her new book.

  You blokes across the pond use serviettes for one set of lips and napkins for another.

  I used "queue" in a song once...it just seemed to fit better.
  
  And being a Chicagoan, Jenny is well known around town as a racist bitch.

  Wait a second. I thought a Queue was that Chinese hairdo with the long braid?

  @ shadow. Actually that term is never used any more over here, maybe some working class people in certain parts of Yorkshire but nowhere else. And a hotel clerk would never use that term, which dates back to the early part of the last century.
  
  @slick. I've never seen that myself, maybe that's something the middle and upper classes do. I never use either, unless I am in a restaurant.
  
  @mikey. Yes, a fag is short for cigarette over here.

  I sometimes use the word queue at work but I rarely use it outside of work. If I talk about queue time outside of work, I expect I might get blank stares.

  Jenny was top shelf. But is she embarrassed at her Playboy past?

  It was Playboy that launched her career, so shame on her for now being "above" that.

  So lets see. The circumstances indicate he's clearly a major dork. He's got porn. He's bored. His hands are unoccupied standing in line. I'm thinking Jenny may not have like the gooey white substance on the pen he was trying to hand her.
  
  Unless the event billed her as "Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy", I think it was obnoxious of the fan to even ask. It wouldn't surprise me if it would be a violation of her contract with Playboy to sign an image Playboy owns without Playboy's written permission.
