lol that's cool. It's just begging to be worked into a historical novel, I think...

One with plenty of humour -- put that into a too straight-laced novel and nobody's going to believe it's true (and worst case, they might even take it out on the author)!

True, true.

Sounds perfect for a Veronica Speedwell novel. Maybe someone should suggest it to Deanna Raybourn. :)
