Several years ago, Margaret Thatcher and her husband, Denis, were
walking through Hyde Park in London, when they spotted a disheveled,
unshaven, hungry looking man without a leg wearing the remains of an
army uniform. In front of him was a tin cup and a sign saying "Falklands
Veteran - Please Help!". 

Maggie turned to Denis and said, "Really, we must help that poor man." 

So Denis reached into his pocket and pulled out some coins, but Maggie
stopped him. "Denis, I was PM at the time, we really owe him more than
just a few coins." 

At that she dug into her purse, pulled out a ten pound note and handed
it to Denis. Denis then walked over to the ex-soldier and handed it to
him.

The veteran looked down at the ten pound note, broke into a beaming
smile and exclaimed, "Ahh!  Gracias, senor!!"
