George Bush meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your
Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there
any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround
your self with intelligent people."
"Bush frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really
intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them
to answer an intelligent riddle. "The Queen pushes a button on her intercom.
"Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"
The Queen smiles "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and
father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be
me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Bush goes back home to ask d**k Cheney, his vice president, the
same question.
"d**k, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a
child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says Cheney, "let me get back to you on that one."
Cheney goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give
him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and
recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Cheney shouts,
"Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Cheney smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, Cheney goes back to speak with Bush. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Bush gets up, stomps over to Cheney and angrily yells into his
face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
