Jordanian monarch complains of bovine odors from Israel

King Abdullah II of Jordan has complained of bovine odors coming from the Israeli side of the border along the countries' shared southern border, Israel's environment minister said Monday. Speaking to Israel Radio, Gideon Ezra said the smells, from a livestock quarantine facility, were blown across the border towards the king's palace in the town of Aqaba on the Red Sea, next to the Israeli town of Eilat. Jordanian officials contacted Israel last week and requested the odors be neutralized, Ezra said.

I bet Queen Rania was wrinkling her pretty little nose at the smell, don't you?

Hmm. There just might be more than bovine excrement around the palace that is wrinkling Queen Rania's pretty nose these days. Is Queen Rania bored?
