JokesThe Queen and Bush...
At Heathrow, Air Force One stops at a bright red carpet along which President
Bush strides to join Queen Elizabeth II in a beautiful, ornate 17th-century
coach hitched to six enormous matched white horses. The coach proceeds through
the streets of London en route to Buckingham Palace, the Queen and the President
waving to the cheering throngs. Suddenly the right rear horse produces a
thunderous, cataclysmic passing of gas that reverberates through the air and
rattles the doors of the coach. Embarrassed and uncomfortable, the two powerful
figures focus their attention elsewhere and try to behave as if nothing out of
the ordinary had happened. But the Queen is the first to realize that ignoring
what had just happened is ridiculous. She explains, "Mr. President, please
accept my regrets; I'm sure you understand that there are some things that even
a Queen cannot control."
President Bush replies, "Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another
thought. Actually, if you hadn't said something, I would have thought it was one
of the horses!"
