And lo, Oprah's unblinking gaze rested on Kansas City, and she spake to Union Station, saying, "Bring me Princess Diana's marital frock, that I might dance in its finery before the masses at my temple in yon Chicago town this Friday for my royal wedding special! What shall be done to the man who reproacheth me, for who is the uncircumcised Philistine who should defy the armies of Harpo?"
Ah, but the Union Station officials knew that Diana's gown, like the fire stolen from Olympus, must belong to all people, and also, they were making buckets upon buckets of shimmering ducats in trade for its viewing.
So to risk death by defying him and therefore driving him into the enemy's ranks, they told Oprah, "No."
Thus did Union Station spokesman Tony Cook take reed to cuneiform and decree onto Fox 4: "After you say no to Oprah and hang up the phone, you kinda wonder for a
minute, 'Oh, my goodness, was there not some way to make that happen?'
But again, you have to think about the folks here coming for the event,
so had to tell Oprah no. I hope I'm not in trouble."
Rebuked, Oprah has returned to her nest of underground caverns beneath the enchanted lake, Grendel's Mere, for a fortnight to dream her bloody thoughts, and she could not be reached for comment.

I wonder how she took that?? I bet she doesnt make any mention of this little snub on her show!!
But if it's not there, because Oprah has it... then they really can't go to Union Station to see it can they? Im guessing that Thrus/Friday/Sat of this week are going to be the busiest of the days for them. Because of the Royal wedding and all.
Wonderfully written Peter Rugg. And yes, I agree with lory... this would have been a great opportunity to draw even MORE people to the exhibit.
