Those Inquisitive Aussies
An Australian editor tells this story—
An old lady, at the conclusion of the war, was paying a visit to Madame Jarley’s Wax Works. Carefully sizing up a group of figures representing various ancient queens, including Queen Elizabeth and Mary Queen of Scots, she asked an attendant if they wore any underwear under this gorgeous raiment. The attendant replied:
“No, ma’am, they don’t wear any, but the public of course thinks they do. The only visitors we’ve ’ad as knows they don’t are some Australian soldiers.”
