Another Bush joke to cheer me up
During his visit to the UK Bush was invited to lunch with the Queen. After a bit of idle chat Bush decided to convey to the monarch his admiration for British society.
"You know ma'am" he said, "I'm so impressed with the way you run things over here that when I go back, I'm going to change the US into a Kingdom, just like you have over here".
"I'm afraid that's impossible", replies Lizzie. " To have a Kingdom you need a King, and I'm afraid you are not a King".
"O.K", sez Dubya, "you guys had an Empire for a while, maybe I could try that on the good old boys at home".
"No dice" said the Queen, "to have an Empire you would need an Emperor, and you, sunshine, ain't no Emperor".
Georgie is getting a bit irate at this stage and decides to take one last shot.
"Well what about a Principality, like Wales. Goddam woman, you made your son the Prince of Wales and he talks to wildlife and such".
"'Fraid not", her Maj replies, "for a Principality you need a Prince and you're no Prince. I'm afraid, Mr. Bush, that as long as you're in charge America is going to have to remain a country".

Boom, Boom.
I thank you.

1. I didn't get it.
Maybe I'm dumb, then.

2. That's brilliant
I can't quite imagine Her Majesty saying something like that, but it would have been pretty accurate.
