A tour bus loaded full of noisy tourists arrives at Runnymede, England.

They gather around the guide who says: “This is the spot where the barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta.”

A man pushing his way to the front of the crowd asks: “When did that happen?”

“1215,” answers the guide.

The man looks at his watch and says: “Shoot! Just missed it by a half hour!”
