As a tribute to the Queen's Jubilee, President Bush decided to accept
Prime Minister Blair's invitation to make a whirlwind visit to London to honor
Her Majesty. He is greeted at the airport by Mr. Blair, then whisked into
London, where he is ensconced in the royal carriage, an open carriage,
for a ride through London with none other than Elizabeth II.
The two are met with wildly enthusiastic crowds who wave and shout
encouragement and good wishes. The President and the Queen wave back,
and share a few happy thoughts as they move slowly through London in the
horse-drawn conveyence.
But suddenly, the right rear horse in the traces raises its tail and
lets fly with the most horrendous, earthshaking, eye-smarting blast of flatulence
perhaps ever heard in the British Empire, including Bermuda, Tortola, the
Falklands and Pitcairn Island.
Uncomfortable, but under control, the two dignitaries continue to wave
and smile at the crowds. But finally, the uncomfortable silence between the
two is too much for Her Highness. The Queen leaned over to President Bush
and said, "Mr. President, please accept my regrets and apologies for that.
I'm sure you understand there are some things even a queen cannot control."
President Bush looked at her, smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please
don't give it a second thought. Heck, if you hadn't said something, I'd have
thought it was one of the horses."
Have a read and a laugh.
