Two blokes living in the Australian outback saw a couple of jobs advertised by the Queen of England. She was looking for footmen, to walk beside her carriage.
They applied and were very happy to be flown to London for an interview with Her Majesty. She says to them: “Because my footmen must wear long white stockings, I must see your ankles to be sure they are not swollen or misshapen." After they show her their ankles, the Queen says: “It is also important that you don’t have knobby knees, so I need to see your knees too.” Once she has seen their knees, she says: “Now everything appears to be in shape, so I just need to see your testimonials.”
Nine years later, when the pair are finally released from prison, one of the blokes says to the other, ”I reckon if we just had a bit more education, we would have got that job!"

Re: Those crazy down under folks...
great joke my late friend "Tottie" (aka Scottie) from N.Z. said that a woman asked him, if anything was "worn" under his Kilt and he replied "I assure you, Lady, there is nothing WORN under my Kilt"

The Scottish are renown for their frugalness. I've travelled around Scotland and loved it. Highlight food wise was eating an Arbroath smokey on the side of the road. Isle of Skye was stunning.

Lived in Nairn - 16 miles from Inverness.
The sure way to see Nessie is to buy two bottles of single malt, drink them both, then looked through them as you would look through binoculars. Will see several Nessies.
