The President and the The Queen

A friend just sent me this in an email.  Made me smile.  Hopefully you'll get a chuckle too...

As Air Force One arrives at the Heathrow Airport , President Obama strides to a warm and 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 out the most horrendous earth shattering fart ever heard in the
British Empire .  The smell is so atrocious that both passengers in the carriage, must 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 politely turns to President Obama and says:

  
"Mr President, please accept my deepest regrets... I am sure you understand there are some things that even a Queen cannot control."
 Obama, always trying to be "Presidential," responded:

  
"Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought... Until you mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses."
