On the right flank; Scots Guard (100 guardsmen) a gap, HM The Queen,
mounted in uniform; alongside her the CO Colonel Gerald, another gap,
then on the left flank, the Queen’s Company Grenadier Guards (100 guardsmen).
We’re stood at ease waiting.
Suddenly the silence was broken by Colonel Gerald’s charger erupting
with horse farts at full volume for two minutes.
Embarrassed and staring straight ahead Colonel Gerald says,
“Sorry about that your Majesty!”
She replies, in a wonderful voice, “That’s alright Gerald,
I thought it was your horse!”
200 guardsmen silently cried with laughter, and tapped their rifle
butts on the gravel
From that moment, every man there adored her!
Reminds me of one of my all-time favourite jokes about a man chatting to a colleague and his wife at a fancy dinner party when he unfortunately broke wind rather loudly.
"Goddam it!", exclaimed the husband. "You've just farted in front of my wife!".
"Oh I'm terribly sorry, old chap", replied the man. "I didn't realise it was her turn."
