A CLOSE ENCOUNTER    Queen Elizabeth's former bodyguard, Richard "Dick" Griffin, told Sky News about the time he and the queen ran into two American hikers while strolling in the hills of Scotland. The Americans had no clue who they were speaking to, and proceeded to regale them with all the places in Great Britain they'd visited.  Then, one of the men asked the kindly elderly lady - also known as the queen - where she lived. "I live in London," she said.  "But I've got a holiday home just on the other side of the hills." "And how often have you been coming up here?" "Since I was a little girl, so over eighty years." "Oh, then you must have met the queen." Gesturing to Griffin, the queen said, "Well, I haven't, but Dick here meets her regularly."                       TOP          JUST FUN          HOME
