George H.W. Bush vomiting incident
The George H.W. Bush vomiting incident occurred on January 8, 1992 around 8:20 p.m. JST when U.S. President George H.W. Bush fainted after vomiting into the lap of the then Prime Minister of Japan, Kiichi Miyazawa. Like the Jimmy Carter rabbit incident that preceded it and the George W. Bush pretzel incident‎ and shoe-throwing incident that followed it, the incident quickly became fodder for the nation's comedians. Footage of the President vomiting was broadcast on the ABC network.
The dinner itself was a state event for some 135 diplomats held at the home of the Prime Minister. The event came near the end of the President's 12-day trade-oriented trip through Asia.
