Boris Johnson, back when he was mayor of London, recited a passage from the Iliad in Ancient Greek. This performance is an amusing lesson in how to showcase an upper class breeding without a hint of condescension or superiority.

Very nice. Worth noting, for some reason, this is making the rounds right now though, it occurred some years ago.   Randomly, took the tweet above, I've seen it mentioned in a few venues and thought, it might be entertaining here.
