George Bush met the Queen today, and he turns round and says: “As I’m the President, I’m thinking of changing how the 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”.
Bush 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 Bush could utter another word, The Queen said: “I think you’re doing quite nicely as a Country”.
