Ha ha, I recall someone asking who was the funny looking little indian chap sitting in the carriage with the Queen of Tonga on the way to Westminster Abbey, to which someone replied "Her lunch!"
Not very PC, but very funny, or at least it was at the time. Context is everything. And , moreover, I am sure that the Queen of Tonga would have seen the joke too.
