George and the Queen         Political Crap  /  Back Home

Thanks to Mary Lou for this one!

Air Force One arrives at Heathrow and President Bush strides to a warm
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 flatulence to ever sound in the British Empire. The
smell is atrocious!  Both Queen and President use handkerchiefs over their
noses. The flatulence has shaken the driver but the two state dignitaries 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,
do not give the matter another thought.  Until you mentioned it, I thought
it was one of the horses.'
