> At Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet was stretched out

> Air Force One and President Bush strode to a warm but dignified handshake
> from Queen Elizabeth II.
>
> They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of
> central London where they boarded an open 17th century coach hitched to
> six magnificent white horses.
>
> As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking to their side and
> waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was
> going well. This was indeed a glorious display of
> pageantry and dignity.
>
> Suddenly the scene was shattered when the right rear horse let rip the
> most
> horrendous, earth-shattering, eye-smarting blast of flatulence and the
> coach immediately filled with noxious fumes.
>
> Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two dignitaries did their best
> to ignore the whole incident, but then the Queen decided that was a
> ridiculous manner with which to handle a most
> embarrassing situation.
>
> She turned to Mr. Bush and explained, "Mr. President, please accept my
> regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things even a Queen
> cannot control."
>
> George W., ever the Texas gentleman, replied, "Your Majesty, please
> don't
> give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something I
> would have assumed it was one of the horses."
