Air de la Folie

"After the dinner, the Duke of Windsor's butler made a sign that he needed to speak to the Duke urgently. He said to him 'Your Royal Highness, I don't think one of your guest is feeling very well. He has peed into is champagne glass.' The Duke paused a moment. 'Well, that's most unusual', he said, 'but quite practical'."
