A young lad walks into the toilets at Heathrow Airport. Standing by the sink is an RAF fellow, in his ceremonial uniform. The little lad, all agog, takes a moment and then says;
"Wow! Are you in the RAF?!"
"Yes I am" came the reply, "Here, would you like to try my hat on?"
"Oh yes please" he replies and taking the hat he places it on his head and gazes into the mirror.
Just then, the door opens, and through a shining beam of light, in walks a man. But this was not just a man, he was more than a man. He was a Matelot!
The little boy turns and walks up to the Matelot. As he approached, he could see his reflection in his steaming boots. His little eyes widened as he took in the width of his chest, and the steely look in his eye. He tried to speak, but he couldn't. Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me Sir, Are you a Matelot?!"
The Matelot replied in a thunderous tone, "Well yes lad, and proud. Would you like to shine my boots?"
"Oh No" Replied the little boy, "I'm not really in the RAF, I'm just wearing his hat.
