My postillion has been struck by lightning

"My postillion has been struck by lightning", "our postillion has been struck by lightning", and other variations on the same pattern, are often given as examples of the ridiculed phrases supposed to have been found in phrase books or language instruction in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The word postillion, meaning a person who rides a harnessed horse that is pulling a horse-drawn vehicle rather than riding from behind, may occur in its alternative spelling postilion.
