  PARP!

  Pssst! Do you know the story about Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) and the -- er -- farting courtier? One day, when bowing low to Her Majesty, the Earl of Oxford couldn't help but break wind.

  The poor man felt SO embarrassed, that he left the court -- and some say the country -- for SEVEN years.

  Upon his return, after such a long absence, the first thing Good Queen Bess said on seeing him was, Lord, I had forgot the fart!
