WATCH: British Prime Minister Theresa May just made a sex joke in parliament

Here we were thinking she didn't have a sense of humour...

Britain is experiencing a tumultuous period at the minute with the fall in sterling, as well as the ever present conversation about Brexit, eating up the news headlines each day.

Theresa May recently revealed that Article 50 would be triggered before the end of March 2017 starting the ticker on the two years Britain has to extricate themselves from the EU.

But all this drama hasn't dampened the mood of the British Parliament as Prime Minister Theresa May made a point of wishing MP Peter Bone a happy birthday.

May quipped: "What I say to my honourable friend I wish him a very happy birthday and many happy returns.

"I hope that Mrs Bone is going to treat the occasion in an appropriate manner."

It brought the parliament to a halt as a bout of raucous laughter filled the room.

Dirty yokes altogether...
