King George?

From Rob at B3TA.

George W. Bush wakes up one morning, feeling good.

He calls in his Vice-President.

"Dick", he says, "I think I need a new title to reflect my position as leader of the free world. I'm going to call myself King."

"You can't do that", says Cheney, "you don't have a kingdom".

"OK then", says Bush, "what about Emperor?"

"No good. You don't have an empire."

"Prince?"

"No. America isn't a principality."

"OK... Err... Duke?"

"Nor is it a Duchy."

"Well, do you have any better ideas?" asks an exasperated Bush.

Cheney smiles. "It's obvious, George", he says, "you run a COUNTRY."
