George Bush met The Queen and said, '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'.
To which 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'.
Bush thought long and hard and came up with, 'How about an Empire then?'
The Queen, getting a little teed off 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 Bush could utter another word, the Queen said, 'I think you're doing quite nicely as a Country.'
