The story is told of a day when Queen Elizabeth had the Duke of Edenbourgh over for a cup of
tea. The conversation turned equestrian and the Queen was telling the Duke about her new
prize horse. After a spell of ranting and raving over this horse theDuke said, "Well, then
let's see this fine animal".So the Queen and the Duke went over the stables to admire the horse. At one point the Queen
walked around the horse, just as it let out an earth trembling belch, with a smell that...
let's just say it would take a few boxes of tic-tacks for this one. The Queen turned a bit
red and said, "Oh, I am terribly sorry about that!""Oh, that's quite alright," the Duke replied, "I had though it was the horse".
