George W. and the Queen

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."
