This week at Heathrow Airport, a 300-foot long red carpet
stretched out
to Air Force. One and Mr. Bush strode to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II. They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of central London where they then boarded an open 17th century coach pulled by six magnificent white matching horses. They rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking sideways and waving to the thousands of Britons lining the boulevard watching the spectacle. - So far everything was going well. when suddenly the right rear horse let fly with the most horrendous, earth-rending, eye-smarting blast of flatulence ever heard in the British Empire and so powerful that it shook the coach. Uncomfortable, but under control, the two Heads of State do their best to ignore the incident. - But, embarrassed, the Queen decided it was impossible to ignore and said,. "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things not even a Queen can control." President Bush smilingly 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!" Greg Hopper

we're said
to be praying, but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?" - Lily Tomlin - |
