Because I know myself too well. I'd just get in more trouble, since I can confidently assert that it's not a flag I'd be waving at Chucky-Boy when he rode past in his shiny wagon!
There's something about screaming "how many fingers am I holding up, ya cunt? Go ahead, count it! if you can manage to count to one!! Don't let the breeze catch those ears, either - you'll go airborne!" at a passing monarch that seems somehow... unseemly.
