Mr. Bush & Queen Elizabeth

At Heathrow Airport, a 300-foot long red carpet stretches
out to Air Force One and Mr. Bush strides to a warm
but dignified hand shake from Queen Elizabeth II.

They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of
central London where they then board an open 17th century
coach pulled by six magnificent white matching horses.
They ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways
and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons.
So far everything is going well.

Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous,
earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of flatulence ever heard
in the British Empire and so powerful that it shakes the coach.
Uncomfortable, but under control, the two Dignitaries of State
do their best to ignore the incident, but, embarrassed,
the Queen decides it's impossible to ignore.

"Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand
that there are some things not even a Queen can control."

Ever the Texas gentleman, the President replies,
"Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought.
You know, if you hadn't said something,
I would have thought it was one of the horses!"

Good one!!
