10 Hysterically Funny Urban LegendsAt Heathrow Airport in England, a 300-foot red carpet was stretched out to Air Force One. President Bush strode out to a warm but dignified handshake from Queen Elizabeth II. They rode in a silver 1934 Bentley to the edge of central London, where they boarded an open 17th-century coach hitched to six magnificent white horses. As they rode toward Buckingham Palace, each looking out and waving to the thousands of cheering Britons lining the streets, all was going well. It was indeed a glorious display of pageantry and dignity. All of a sudden, the right rear horse released a tremendous, eye-smarting blast of flatulence, and the coach was filled with noxious fumes. Uncomfortable, but maintaining control, the two dignitaries did their best to ignore the whole incident. Then the Queen turned to Mr. Bush and said, "Mr. President, please accept my regrets. I'm sure you understand that there are some things even a Queen cannot control." George W., ever the Texas gentleman, replied, "Your Majesty, please don't give the matter another thought. You know, if you hadn't said something I would have assumed it was one of the horses." *************************************************************************************** This particular urban myth has had quite a run including being shared by Princess Diana's Butler during a British episode of the popular show I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
