Goat: What's Pig doing?
Rat: He got a job as a Queen's guard. He's not allowed to move a muscle. There goes that job.
Pig: Mind holding my gun while I go potty?
While I have been to Buckingham Palace and saw the changing of the guards, I think the only muscles they’re allowed to move while at post are the diaphragm and eyelids.
I really must go to London someday. Not only to meet my favorite author, but to take pity on those poor guards who have to tolerate those hot, heavy clothes and people’s mockery. Seriously, whose idea was that?
That’s not a gun; it’s a rifle, and you are supposed to hold your pee in until your bladder bursts. Poor Pig—he leads a sybaritic life just doing what he wants when he wants. Well, he’s a pig after all!
They don’t move unless someone is being an idiot and getting to close or in their face, then it gets interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQCSWPFnjbU
For those who watched Sanchia’s clip, do you remember “The Ugly American”? It’s become a world-wide phenomenon, not limited to Americans. Insensitivity seems to be the norm. Sorry to rant, so I kept it short.

Pig is not a Beefeater. Baconeater perhaps, but not beefeater.

The guards are serving soldiers. They cannot allow tourists to interfere with their duty.
