An English gentleman of some past century has been shipwrecked on a lost island for a few months. One day, he can see another shipwreck victim approaching his haven. He comes to welcome him, keeping some distance at first in the case the newcomer would be someone disreputable (French, Irish, American, Socialist, anybody from out of his own home island and class).

- Aoh... Excuse me, sir? Are you an English gentleman?

- Yes sir, by St-George I am.

The old shipwrecked Englishman comes closer to the new one.

- Oxford, I suppose?

- Could you suppose a real gentleman has studied anywhere else, old chap?

They shake hands.

- Career officer, I presume?

- I presume you couldn't miss it. I guess you are too.

- In the British Indian Army, of course?

- The best corps on Earth, by the Queen's garter.

- Well, well.. So, er... Homosexual?

The newcomer hurls himself backwards:

- Lord, no!! Absolutely not! Damn, what an infamy!!

- Aoh, sorry... So, you must be Captain Jenkins, 8th Lancers...
