President George W. Bush was representing the United States of
America on a highly formal, orchestrated state visit to England.
The President joined Queen Elizabeth II in a beautiful, ornate
17th-century coach hitched to 6 enormous matched white horses.
The coach proceeded through the streets of London en route to
Buckingham Palace, and the Queen and the President were waving
to the cheering throngs.
Then suddenly the right rear horse produced a thunderous fart
that reverberated through the air and rattled the doors of the
coach, sending a horse-**** stench blowing through the coach.
Uncomfortable, the two powerful figures try to focus their
attentions elsewhere and behave as if nothing extraordinary had
happened.
But the Queen realized that ignoring what had just happened
would be ridiculous. She explained: "Mr. President, please
accept my regrets - I'm sure you understand that there are some
things that even a Queen cannot control."
George W. replied, "No need to be ashamed, your majesty... it's
just gas. But I gotta admit, until you confessed, I thought it
was one of the horses!"
