This Times Online Article is very funny and entertaining:

From emptying of the diplomatic bag to breaking wind before Virgin Queen

By Michael Binyon

<snip>

THE need to relieve oneself diplomatically has on occasion determined the fate of nations.

In the 1960s, President Johnson used to adjourn conversations when the need arose and ask his interlocutors to accompany him to the men’s room. Their embarrassment was a source of great amusement to him. He often recounted a story about “one of the delicate Kennedyites who came into the bathroom with me and then found it utterly impossible to look at me while I sat there on the toilet”.

3. Reminded me of a very old joke from the National Lampoon (early 70's)...
Illustration of two dogs in morning coats...


"Woof woof!" (similar to a "knock knock" joke)

"Who's there?"

"Bowser."

"Bowser who?"

"Bow, sir, the king's dog has just broken wind."
