Two Aussie outback chaps, Bluey and Curly, see some jobs advertised by the Queen looking for footmen, to walk along beside her carriage. Bluey says "Hey, we'd be set for life if we snatched them jobs, eh Curley ?" So they decided to apply.
They eventually get flown over to London, and have a direct interview with Her Majesty. The Queen says to them " Because my footmen must wear small shoes and long white stockings, I must see your ankles, to be sure they are not swollen or misshapen, as it is very important that they look right."
After they show her their ankles and she is satisfied that they have shapely ankles, the Queen says " Now it is also important that you don't have knobbly knees, because they show through the white stockings, so I need to see your knees too."
After she is satisfied that their knees are OK, she says to them, " Now everything appears to be in shape, so I just need to see your testimonials".
So, 9 years later, when they finally get out of Dartmoor Prison, Bluey says to Curley, "Hey Curley , I reckon if we just 'ad a bit more education, we woulda got that job , eh?"

I see Curly changed his name between the first paragraph and the last. I think that was very wise of him.
