George & the queen

[nigel99 640]

At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth last night, George
W. Bush turned to the Queen and said: "As I'm the
President, I'm thinking of changing how my great
country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it
should be a Kingdom." The Queen replies "I'm sorry Mr
Bush, but to be a Kingdom, you have to have a King in
charge - and you're not a King."

George Bush thought a while and then said: "How about
a Principality then?" To which the Queen replied
"Again, to be a Principality you have to be a Prince -
and you're not a Prince, Mr Bush."

George thought long and hard and came up with "How
about an Empire then?" The Queen, getting a little
annoyed by now, replies "Sorry again, Mr Bush, but to
be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge - and
you are not an Emperor."

Before George W could utter another word, The Queen
said: "I think you're doing quite nicely as a
Country."
