"Out of tune" joke

Lady Reading seldom lost her Viceregal poise and attended every function in spite of failing health, but she had her own sense of humour. One evening, when the Viceroy's orchestra was performing during dinner, she enquired the title of the dance tune which was being played. No one could remember. So her ADC was sent to ask the bandmaster.
The conversation at the table changed to another subject during the ADC's absence. He slipped into his seat on his return and waited for an opportunity to impart his information. At the next silence he leant forward to catch Lady Reading's eye and in a penetrating voice, said,' I will remember your kisses, your Excellency, when you have forgotten my name.'
