His Lordship was in the study when the butler approached and coughed discreetly.

"May I ask you a question, My Lord?"

"Go ahead, Carson ," said His Lordship.

"I am doing the crossword in The Times and found a word the exact meaning of which I am not too certain."

"What word is that?" asked His Lordship.

"Aplomb," My Lord.

"Now that's a difficult one to explain. I would say it is self-assurance or complete composure."

"Thank you, My Lord, but I'm still a little confused about it."

"Let me give you an example to make it clearer. Do you remember a few months ago when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived to spend a weekend with us?"

"I remember the occasion very well, My Lord. It gave the staff and myself much pleasure to look after them."

"Also," continued the Earl of Grantham, "do you remember when Will plucked a rose for Kate in the rose garden?"

"I was present on that occasion, My Lord, ministering to their needs.

"While Will was plucking the rose, a thorn embedded itself in his thumb very deeply."

"I witnessed the incident, My Lord, and saw the Duchess herself remove the thorn and bandage his thumb with her own dainty handkerchief."

"That evening the hole the rose made in his thumb was very sore. Kate had to cut his venison for him, even though it was extremely tender."

"Yes, My Lord, I did see everything that transpired that evening."

"And do you remember the next morning while you were pouring coffee for Her Ladyship, Kate inquired of Will in a loud voice, 'Darling, does your prick still throb?' And you, Carson, did not spill one drop of coffee?

That, Carson is aplomb.”

Not only that but sometimes a reader might miss the joke first time posted plus always new peeps on the board.

So instead of the reader making the effort to read previous posts, we should baby them and keep posting the same posts over and over !!!!!

Wow, think of all the storage space and money that would be saved.

We could do that with the news also, eliminate all of written history, just repeat everything over and over.

That must be "Plan B".

I do expect my fellow posters to read all posts and remember them. 

Frank is more to blame....he posted the same joke twice!

Mea culpa, mea culpa however I posted 2 different versions. ;)

not totally your fault frank, if you posted the joke twice and cobraboy can't remember he needs to share part of the blame. we all know cobraboy is nothing but a troublemaker. ;)

just my two pesos from the clown bin with no sense of humour...........
