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."
