THE QUEENS COMMENTS
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 replied, "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, replied : "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."
