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.

A general calls in his young, beautiful secretary to take a note.
The secretary notices the general's zipper is open and says, "General, your barracks door is open."
The general looks down and spins around embarrassed to zip up his zipper.
Later in the afternoon the general calls the beautiful secretary back into his office.
"Earlier this afternoon when you noticed my 'barracks' door open," asked the general, "did you see a private standing at attention?"
"No,” responds the secretary, “I saw an old, retired Vet asleep on a couple of sea bags."

Well, the Queen's the only one with a skirt who knows how to sit like a lady.

Well, at least they're not smiling... with all that pastiness and those bony knees, I don't think I could stand the additional sight of their teeth.

I love the Scots, but this is one of the many reasons why a man should NEVER wear a skirt. (With the possible exception of Mel Gibson in Braveheart!)
