The Earl of Oxford Farted Before the Queen
just a casual reminder that the 17th Earl of Oxford went into voluntary exile for 7 years because he farted while bowing to the Queen THIS Earle of Oxford, making of his low obeisance to Queen Elizabeth, happened to let a Fart, at which he was so abashed and ashamed that he went to Travel, 7 yeares. On his returne the Queen welcomed him home, and sayd, My Lord, I had forgot the Fart.
A social media post recounts an anecdote about the 17th Earl of Oxford farting while bowing before Queen Elizabeth. He was so embarrassed that he voluntarily exiled himself for seven years, only for the Queen to say she had forgotten the incident. The meme is used as an absurd historical reminder and a reaction to extreme embarrassment.
