Back in the time of the Iranian hostage crisis, a Nimrod crew were on detachment at an American base. The whole crew, knockers included, were taking advantage of American hospitality and cheap beer in the O's club when the Base Commander decided to give a welcome speech.
During the speech, he touched on the hostage situation sayin, "I'd just like to remind everybody that while we're her drinking and enjoying ourselves, fellows Americans are beeing held hostage by that evil regime in Iran" At which stage, the rather tanked up junior siggie shouts,
"Three cheers for the Ayatolla"
