george bush flies to england for an audience with the queen. he brings up his plans for the future of the u.s.
'your majesty' he begins, 'can we turn the u.s into a kingdom?'
the queen shakes her head and replies 'one needs a king for a kingdom and you are most certainly not a king mr bush'
not to be dissuaded, he asks 'would it be possible for the u.s to be an empire then?'
'no' retorts the queen. 'you need an emperor for an empire and you are most certainly not an emperor'
her majesty takes a sip of her tea and then adds, 'mr bush, on reflection, i think america is perfectly suited to being a country'
