A Russian Grand Duchess invites the British, French, and German ambassadors for tea. She has a digestion problem and makes some unpleasant body noise from time to time. The first time this happens, the British ambassador blushes, gets up, and says: 'Please excuse me, Your Excellency.' Ten minutes later the same noise can be heard. This time the French ambassador rises, blushes, and says: 'Excusez-moi, s'il vous plaît, majesté.' When the same thing happens again the German ambassador, having watched the previous incidents with lively interest, gets up, puts his monocle in place, and shouts: "This one, and the following ten, belong to me in the name of the German Reich!"
