A joke - play on words

A distinguished looking friend of mine ( who is also equally distinguished in his field of work) told me this anecdote a few years ago. He is a tall, well built chap with a flowing beard and a very royal demeanour.

As he was waiting at an airport in Newyork, wearing a long-white jelaba (Arab dress a white woman approached him and asked " Excuse me, but you do look like a Sheikh ( future king). Are you one ? "

To this, my friend ( Mirza yawar Baig ) smiled and replied " Not yet "
