	One day Queen Elizabeth and Diana, Princess of Wales, were
riding in the royal limousine when they were cut-off by a robber and
had to pull over to the side of the road.
	The robber waved his gun at the back window, indicating to
the Queen to roll the window down. The Queen swiftly complied, upon
which the Queen asked, "What do you want?"
	"I want your tiara," the felon gruffly replied.
	"I am sorry, but I did not wear my tiara today."
	The thief, upon receiving this information, turned towards
Diana. "Hey you - I want your ruby ring."
	Diana held up her hand and said, "What a coincidence, but I
too did not wear my ring today."
	The thwarted thief cussed and motioned that they all get out
of the Bentley. They did and the robber got in the car and drove off.

	When the Queen and Lady Diana returned to Windsor castle,
they and the chauffeur went to see the Queen Mother to report their
ordeal. After the Queen Mother received an account of the robbery
she turned to Queen Elizabeth and asked, "I thought that you wore
your tiara today?"
	"But I did. When I saw the robber pull us over, I hid the
tiara in my private place."
	The Queen Mother turned towards Diana and said, "And you -
I thought you wore your ring today?"
	"I did, but like Momsie, I hid the ring in my private place."
	At this point the chauffeur interjected, "It a shame Ma'am
that Princess Anne wasn't wi' us. We could have saved the Bentley!"
