King Abdullah of JordanIn a
demonstration of solidarity with his subjects, the Hashemite King
reaches for the same bag as plebs who board the
Jordanian national carrier. Still, at least the Royal Jordanian
bag bears a royal insignia to tell His Majesty what airline he's
flying. |

George W Bush
The most powerful man in the world has a lot of reading to do
before he can use his bag.
The bag comes in a
little yellow envelope bearing the following briefing:
"Motion sickness bag (For use during moments of stomach
upset): If an upset stomach is anticipated, remove bag from this
container and keep ready for use. Do not be embarrassed by this
precaution as even veteran travelers are subject to occasional
motion sickness."
Lucky Laura is a librarian: she can read it to him while he eats
pretzels. |

George H W Bush
Bush Senior is the only one of the world leaders depicted here who
does not use a barfbag (even though he is demonstrating the use of one
here).
He throws up over
other
countries' prime ministers instead. |

Queen Elizabeth II
The Royal Flight has plain white bags. I'm told that this because
otherwise people like me would steal them as collectibles. Unlike
Her Majesty, I haven't got my gloves on one of her bags yet. If you
click on the picture, though, you get the next best thing: a bag from
the QEII cruise liner. |
Coming soon! |
Václav Klaus
Unlike his American counterpart, the Czech president does not need
any instructions on how to use a bag. Like many of his peers, his
personal bags are depressingly plain. |

Horst Köhler
The German president gets a plain old grey Lufthansa bag - not even
the snazzy new blue edition issued to other passengers. |

Like many of his peers, Mr Putin has to make do with a plain white
barfbag. At least it matches the interior decor on his Ilyushin 96.
