Subject: Only a Texas Gentleman could get away with this.

At Heathrow Airport, a 300-foot long red carpet stretches out to Air
Force
One and Mr. Bush strides to a warm but dignified hand shake from Queen
Elizabeth II.

They ride in a silver 1934 Bentley limousine to the edge of central
London
where they then board an open 17th century coach pulled by six
magnificent
white matching horses. They ride toward Buckingham Palace, each looking
sideways and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons.

So far everything is going well. Suddenly the right rear horse lets fly
with the most horrendous, earth shaking, eye stinging, acrid blast of
flatulence ever heard in the British Empire and so powerful, that it
shakes
the coach.

Uncomfortable, but under control, the two Dignitaries of State do their
best to ignore the incident. But, embarrassed, the Queen decides it's
impossible to ignore it. "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm
sure
you understand that there are some things not even a Queen can
control."

Ever the Texas gentleman, the President replies, "Your Majesty, please
don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said
something, I would have thought it was one of the horses."
