At his meeting with Queen Elizabeth recently, John Howard, PM of Australia, 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."
