Visiting Her Majesty

I travelled to London to visit the Queen of England. I disguised myself as
a prince and walked into Buckingham Palace. After receiving directions
from a 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 more than an hour. I showed her my photograph
album and my stamp collection. She showed me her historic collection of
jewels. After a thoroughly entertaining visit, I traded email addresses with
Her Majesty and then kissed her goodbye—on the fingertips of her white
gloves, of course.
