The Queen and the Pope are on the balcony at Buckingham Palace, celebrating an historic accord between the Church of England and the Vatican. Below them are millions of people, cheering and waving.
The Queen says to the Pope "with a wave of my hand, I can get every Protestant in this crowd to cheer even louder", so the Pope says "let's see it".
With a wave of her hand, the crowd below starts cheering louder, even singing praises to the Queen. The Queen turns to the Pope and says "can you top that?"
The Pope tells the Queen that with a single movement of his hand, he can get every Catholic in the crowd to weep with joy, and that they will remember this day for generations to come; songs will be written and schoolchildren will be taught the historical significance of his simple gesture. The Queen says that she has to see this.
So the Pope slaps her.
