Caption the Queen

Queen is exposed to Highland game

By Anil Dawar, Daily Mail 10 November 2004

Having one's picture taken sitting next to the Queen is usually no sniggering matter.

Particularly when it's an official photograph of the battalion in full uniform and Her Majesty is there in her role as commander of the armed forces.

But Colonel Simon West didn't appear to be taking the occasion too seriously yesterday.

********

Click for bigger image the picture will be a bit too revealing for the Queen's liking

In his cap, jacket and spats, his hands on his knees and his ankles crossed, he sat proudly in the front row of the 1st Battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, next to the Queen.

But unlike his comrades, he hadn't taken the time to adjust his sporran and kilt for decency.

So the kilt flapped about for all the world to see. And judging by the grin on his face, the colonel knew exactly what he was doing.

Oh yes, they call him the streak
Fastest thing on two feet
He's just as proud as he can be
Of his anatomy
He's gonna give us a peek
Oh yes, they call him the streak
He likes to show off his physique
If there's an audience to be found
He'll be streakin' around Invitin' public critique...


Ah, yes..."The Streak." One of the greatest songs of all time....looks like the Queen might get a "free shot."

an American girl is attending a Scottish games event, and asks one of the participants, "what do you really wear under that there kilt?"

"Well, Lass," replies the Scotsman, "whey dunt yuu plehs yur hahnd there 'nd foind ouht?"

Which she does, immediately pulling back her hand and shouting, "That's GRUESOME!!". To which the Scotsman winks, "True, Lass... and if you would have kept yur hahnd there longer, it would certainly 've grew sum moore!"
