The Prince of Wales was visiting a hospital & was directed into the men's ward. Shaking hands with the patient in the first bed he asked him what he was in for.
"Piles" he was told
The Prince asked what the treatment was.
"Wire brush & liquid paraffin" was the reply.
"And what is your chief ambition?" asked the Prince
"To be a pilot" answered the patient
He moved to the next bed and was suprised to hear that he too was suffering from piles and was undergoing the same treatment.
He moved to the third bed and asked if he was suffering from piles.
"Laryngitis" croaked the patient
"What is the treatment for that?" asked the Prince
"The same" said the patient "wire brush & paraffin"
"And what is your chief ambition?" asked the Prince
"To get the wire brush before the other two" he was told
