Scene: The billiard room in the Regimental Mess of an African outpost in the days of the Empire. The Colonel of the regiment is playing billiards with his ADC.

ADC. "Have you heard about young Farquaharson?"
Colonel, about to pot a red, pauses. "Farquaharson? Farquaharson? Oh! You mean young Freddie Farquaharson of the Fighting Forty Fourth".

ADC. "That's the chap".

Col. "No. What about him?"

ADC. "Apparently he's gorn native."

Col. "Gorn native! Young Farquaharson! What do you mean?"

ADC "It's reported he's living in the jungle, naked, up a tree with a gorilla."

Col. "Young Farquaharson! Naked up a tree with a gorilla! Is it a male or a female gorilla?"

ADC. "Oh, female. There's nothing strange about young Farquaharson."
