The Queen and the Pope

The Pope and the Queen of England are on the same stage infront of a
huge crowd. Her Majesty and His Holiness, however, have seen it all
before, so to make it a little more interesting, the Queen says to the
Pope, "Did you know that with just one little wave of my hand I can
make every English person in the crowd go wild?" He doubts it, so she
shows him. Sure enough, the royal-gloved wave elicits rapture and
cheering from every English person in the crowd. Gradually, the
cheering subsides. The Pope, not wanting to be out done by someone
wearing a worse frock & hat than he, considers what he could do. "Your
Majesty, that was impressive. But did you know that with just one
little wave of MY hand I can make every IRISH person in the crowd go
crazy with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display like that of
your subjects, but will go deep into their hearts, and they will
forever speak of this day and rejoice." The Queen seriously doubts
this, and says so. "One little wave of your hand and all Irish people
will rejoice forever? Show me." So the Pope slapped her.
