A very embarrassing moment for the prez

I am so pleased to be here, ......  Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, won't you do me the honor or riding with me in my  Presidential Limo, we call it, The Beast. State of the art throughout, it has everything  for your protection ............
It can seat seven people and it has a communications center. A glass partition divides the front from back. Three rear-facing seats are in the back, with cushions that are able to fold over the partition. The two rear seats are reserved for the president and another passenger; these seats have the ability to recline individually.

A folding desk is between the two rear seats. Storage compartments in the interior panels of the car contain communications equipment which is called the Limousine Control Package and is operated by the White House Communication Agency.

This is the voice and data device that links the vehicle to the WHCA Roadrunner at the rear of the motorcade allowing command and control (or "C2") functions to be performed from the limo.

The trunk lid has five antennas. The car is driven by a highly trained Secret Service agent who is capable of performing a J-turn. This maneuver, taught at the Secret Service training facility outside Washington D.C., can turn the limo 180 degrees in matter of seconds to escape any trouble, it  cost almost five million....

...... Ah, what do you mean it won't start, he put what ......... in the where. Ah, this is really embarrassing, can we get a cab, either one of you guys  got a few bucks I can borrow?????
