A young Australian man has been charged with exposing himself and being a public nuisance as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II passed by, police said Monday."Don't look, yer majesty!"
Tens of thousands of people turned out to see the visiting monarch as she toured the Queensland capital, her first visit since the state was hit by devastating floods which killed more than 30 people in January.
"My Gawd, Phillip! What was that?"
"It looked like a buttock, m'dear! Maybe two or three of them!"
But among the crowd was one man who allegedly exposed himself.
"Aaaar! Hey, Queen! Ever seen one o' these?"
"A 22-year-old man has been charged with wilful exposure and public nuisance," a Queensland Police spokeswoman told AFP, adding that it was "in the vicinity of the procession."
"Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!"
"I'm goin'! Just lemme pull me pants up! An' hand me m'beer!"
ABC News reported that the man allegedly flashed his buttocks at the queen.
"Ahah! There were two of them!"
"I have always heard that they come in pairs, Phillip."
"Hmmm... Y'know, I believe I've read that somewhere, too."
He will appear in court later this month.
"Y'gotcher choice: Judge Doom? Or Judge Jeffries?"
The queen is warmly regarded in Australia, a former British colony, though from time to time debate rages about whether ties to the monarchy should be cut and the nation become a republic.
... which would make it different from what it is now. If somebody moons the queen it'll be an international incident, rather than just a stoopid incident.
