Default Today's funny

At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, John Howard turned to the
Queen and said:

"As I'm the Prime Minister, I'm thinking of changing how my great
country is
referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom."

The Queen replied, "I'm sorry Mr. Howard, but to be a Kingdom, you have
to
have a King in charge - and you're not a King."

John Howard 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. Howard."

Howard thought long and hard and came up with, "How about an Empire
then?"

The Queen, getting a little annoyed by now, replied: "Sorry again, Mr.
Howard, but to be an Empire you must have an Emperor in charge and you
are not an Emperor."

Before Howard could utter another word, The Queen said: "I think you're
doing quite nicely as a Country."

You know what you need...Beer, Bourbon or Scotch. I had the devil in me today, angry all afternoon, but starting to feel quite sedated at the moment.

Someone told me today that when Michael Jackson dies they are going to melt him down and make plastic toys so that children can play with him for a change. :
