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.'

Whats In A Name?
Good joke, but it nearly has an element of truth to it. Some folks want a president...as long as he is male, others want a president who will be the first female...but only some of us want a King. I don't want to be treated as a subject, but I dont want to be treated as an object either!

Innocent Name Joke
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into."
(highlight. NSFW)
