I travelled to London
to visit the Queen of England. Being a clever fellow, I disguised myself as a
prince and walked into Buckingham Palace as if I owned it.
After receiving
directions from the chambermaid, I stepped into the Queen's bedroom and
surprised Her Royal Highness with a hearty slap on the back. Then, of course, I
tipped my hat, bowed, and delivered the usual compliments. After uncorking a
bottle of champagne, we exchanged pleasantries and talked about our families
for over an hour. I showed her my photograph album and my stamp collection, and
she showed me hers. After a thoroughly entertaining visit, I traded addresses
with Her Majesty and then kissed her goodbye--on the fingertips of her white
gloves, of course.
