The Queens Bush

    President Bush is representing the United States of America on a
    highly formal, impeccably planned state visit to England. At
    Heathrow, a 300-foot long red carpet is stretched out to Air
    Force One and Mr. Bush strides to a warm but dignified handshake
    from Queen Elizabeth II.

    They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of
    central London where they board an open 17th century coach
    hitched to six magnificent white matching horses. As they ride
    toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and waving to the
    thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all is going
    well. But suddenly the right rear horse lets fly with the most
    horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of gastronomic
    flatulence ever heard in the British Empire, including Bermuda,
    Tortola and the Falkland Islands. It shakes the coach.

    Uncomfortable, but under control, the two dignitaries of state do
    their best to ignore the whole incident but then the Queen
    decides that's ridiculous. She turns to Mr. Bush and explains,
    "Mr. President, please accept my regrets....I'm sure you
    understand that there are some things that even a Queen cannot
    control".

    George W. Bush, ever the gentleman, 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."
