The Queen and Dubya
Air Force One arrives at Heathrow Airport and President Bush
strides to a warm and dignified handshake from the Queen! They
ride in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London, where
they board a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six
magnificent white horses. They ride 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 and the
smell was so excruciating, both of them had to 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, as always trying to be "presidential",
replies: "Your Majesty, do not give the matter another
thought... If you had not mentioned it, I would have thought
it was one of the horses."
