I think I put this one on prune before but I can't remember if and when, and I think it's worth a re-tell! All true - I were there! Dining- in night at Abingdon '73 if my memory serves. Well known raconteur and very likeable
Sqn Ldr Flight Engineer being dined out along with others. More senior officer had just replied on behalf of the leavers. PMC said "I call on Sqn Ldr X to tell us a joke" Said Sqn Ldr stood up and after acknowledging Stn Cdr, PMC, ladies etc then said, " When I told my wife I was being dined out this evening, she said what are you going to say if they ask you to speak? What ever you do, keep it short and keep it clean - so I stuck it under a cold tap!!"
Brought the house down!
