Barack Obama's gift for the Queen: a merkin your majesty



LONDON, April 1 (UPI) --
U.S. President Barack Obama and his family gave Queen Elizabeth II a merkin, also known as a pubic wig, when they arrived Wednesday at London's Buckingham Palace.
The New York Times reported that a White House aide said the first family gave the queen an merkin, hand made bySir Phillip Harris, the premiere pubic hair manufacturer in the United States. Sir Phillip, an American through and through, was given the title of "Sir," becuase the Queen happens to be a huge fan of his work. Merkin World is located in Champlagne, Illinois, and President Obama as a former Illinois Senator had toured the factory several times. "I'm familiar with Mr. I mean Sir Phillip's work. My great grandmother had a merkin for years though she could never afford the high qualiy work of Sir Phillip Harris. When President Obama presented the merkin in a red oak case the Queen became silent and blushed. "How did you know," she whispered. "The Queens been bald for years," excalimed Sir Phillip. "Been giving here the works for going on twenty years I think. And she likes the racy ones too. Don't go judging by appearances. She and Prince Phillip have quite an active sex life, but he likes hair that's where we come in. When British Prime Minister Gordon Brown visited the United States last month, Obama gave him 25 of his favorite blacksploitation movies on DVD.
