I thought this one was pretty clever and made me laugh, couldnt agree more...................

The Queen was visiting Scotland and Alex Salmond called by.

H.M.: "How nice to see you Mr Salmond."

A.S.: "Nice to see you Ma'am. Now, what are we going to call Scotland
when we win Independence? How about calling it a Kingdom, and then
I'll be a King?"

H.M.: "No, we don't like that."
*
A.S.: "Alright, so how about calling it a Principality, and then I'll
be a Prince?"

H.M.: .... (thinks).... "No Mr Salmond, I think we should call it a Country."

I always thought Alec was a bit of a count!  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
Had- 2008 TDV8 Vogue SE in Java black
Had - 2007 S/C in Stornoway Grey

Very apt.
