Seeing this is the silly season I thought I'd run with
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 yourself
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, your Majesty?"
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, "Well, your Majesty, that
would be me."
"Yes, Very good," says the Queen.
Bush goes back home to ask Dick Cheney, his Vice President, the same
question. "Dick, 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 each 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!"
