Twitter exchange of the week
Comedy writer James Felton has a way of making current affairs less painful. This week, he had a very funny take on Theresa May’s unusual manner of greeting royalty.
“Hello your Highness. As is customary, I have shit myself as a mark of respect.”

Not everybody realised it was just a joke.
Did she really do it?

Are you asking if she really shit herself?
— James Felton (@JimMFelton) August 8, 2018
Yes
— Stefano (@stefanomkt2) August 8, 2018
No she did not really shit herself.

When he shared screenshots of this extraordinary exchange, people could see a new career path for him.

I’m particularly good at damage control. If there’s ever murmurings that she’s shit herself, I’ll nip that rumour in the bud.

I love the idea that you’re the guy people call when the rich and famous soil themselves.

During the news at 10…..
“And now over to James Felton who says there’s a code brown at the house of commons”

Many had the same question.
Yes, but you don’t know that she didn’t, makes you think.
Or not, either way.— Eye Rollers Anonymous. (@DavidRudge6) August 9, 2018
You don’t know. She might have. 😁

Yer, but how sure are you really?

So, it’s no surprise that this happened.
That’s hilarious.
And I can’t believe she actually shat herself.

Watch out for a hashtag near you.
Yes, your answer should have been yes. We could have got #mayshitsherself trending in no time.
