As they ride toward Buckingham Palace, each > looking sideways and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons > lining the streets, all is going well. But suddenly the > right rear horse lets fly with the most horrendous, earth-rending, > eye-smarting blast of gastronomic flatulence ever heard in the > British Empire, including Bermuda, Tortola and the > Falkland Islands. It shakes the coach. Uncomfortable, but > under control, the two dignitaries of state do their best to ignore > the whole incident, but then the Queen decides > that's ridiculous. She turns to Mr. Bush and explains, > "Mr.President, please accept my regrets....I'm sure you > understand that there are some things that even a Queen cannot > control." George W.
