Peter Crouch was sitting pretty with his latest foray into the world of comedy.
With the whole nation was gripped by Royal baby fever, Crouchy pounced.
Hours after the third of their third child, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stood on the step of the hospital in Paddington waving to the crowd with the new arrival.
A lovely picture that the striker - known for his height - quickly found something to quip about.

There they are, waving high into the air as supporters were seen waving Union Jacks flags and joined in an atmosphere of celebration.
And Crouch - all 6ft 7inches of him - had this great comeback.
His whimsical musings didn't go unnoticed with loads of retweets and thousands of likes.
But it didn't stop there.
Hours after his quip - retweeted over 22,000 times - celebrity model wife Abbey Clancy hit back.
And she was brutal.
Underneath the tweet Crouch felt so happy about, Clancy answered with this simple reply:
Simple, yet effective. He was ruined, with people replying: "OMG that made me laugh. Abbey I mean,"
But have to admit that Crouch's original was quite amusing. And the comments were something too...
But one person didn't really get it...
Yesterday Crystal Palace were the fastest out the trap with a brilliant tweet after Kate Middleton gave birth to her third child.
The Duchess of Cambridge delivered the baby boy, weighing 8lbs, 7oz, at the Lindo Wing at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, on St George's Day.
Her husband William was present for the birth, and both mum and baby are "doing well", Kensington Palace said in a statement.
The happy news was announced by thousands of news outlets on numerous social media channels, including AFP, who took to Twitter to write: "BREAKING Prince William's wife Kate gives birth to son: palace".

Pretending that the word following 'son' was in fact revealing what Kate and Wills has decided to call their baby , Crystal Palace's official Twitter account wrote: "Great name!"
