President Bush visits the UK
President Bush arrived by Air Force One at Heathrow and walked to a
warm and dignified reception from the Queen.
They were driven in a 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London where
they changed to a magnificent 17th century carriage hitched to six
white horses.
They continued on towards Buckingham Palace , waving to the thousands
of cheering Britons; all was going well.
Suddenly, the right rear horse let fly with the most horrendous
earth-shattering fart ever heard in the British Empire . The fart
shook the coach.
The smell was atrocious... but the two dignitaries of state did their
best to ignore the incident.
The Queen turned to President Bush saying, "Mr. President, please
accept my regrets. I am sure you understand there are some things that
even a Queen cannot control."
Bush, known for his gaffes, with his usual diplomatic aplomb, replied,
"Your Majesty, do not give the matter another thought. Until you
mentioned it, I thought it was one of the horses."
