Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish, a weekly podcast coming

to you from the QI offices in Covenant Garden.

My name is Dan Shriver, I'm sitting here with Anacesansky, James Harkin and Andy Murray,

and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our poor favorite facts from the

last seven days and in no particular order, here we go.

Starting with you, Chazinsky.

My fact is that Kaiser Wilhelm once lost a valuable arms contract for Germany because he slapped

the King of Bulgaria on the bottom.

This was the thing he did.

He liked to slap people on the ass and the, so the King of Bulgaria was furred and at

the time and he visited and apparently he was wearing his Colonel's uniform which had

been made when he was a bit slimmer, so he'd put on some extra weight and he was leaning

out of the palace window in Germany and Kaiser Wilhelm noticed that his unmentionables

were tight and so he slapped him on the ass.

So his unmentionables are another word for trousers, are they?

Well, I think it was, so the historian says, he noticed that his unmentionables were

tight, so when he leaned out of the window he presented a mark so tempting that the Emperor

administered a resounding spank on the sacred seat of the King.

Anyway, he was very, very angry and he then awarded an arms contract to someone else

that had been going to go to Germany as a result.

So Frank kind of backfired.

Yeah, but he did, so he was a big bottom slapper, wasn't he?
