The Queen of England & President Bus
Air Force One arrives at Heathrow Airport and President Bush Strides to
a warm and dignified reception from the Queen.
They are driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London
Where they change to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched
to six white horses.
They continue on towards Buckingham Palace waving to the thousands of
cheering Britons; all is going well.
Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous
Earth shattering fart ever heard in the British Empire. The smell is
atrocious and both passengers in the carriage must use handkerchiefs
over their noses. The fart shakes the coach, but the two dignitaries
of
State do their best to ignore the incident.
The Queen turns to President Bush, "Mr. President please accept my
regrets... I am sure you understand there are some things that even a
Queen cannot control."
George Bush, always trying to be "Presidential," replied: "Your
Majesty, don't give the matter another thought... Until you
mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses."
