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.”
