Bush
This is a cute one:
During his audience with the Queen of England George W. Bush
asked, "Your
Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Can
you give me any
tips?"
"Well," the Queen said, "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 took a sip of tea and said, "Oh that's easy.
You just ask them to
answer an intelligent riddle."
The Queen pushed a button on the intercom and said, "Please
ask Tony Blair to join us."
Tony Blair entered and asked, "Yes, my Queen?"
She smiled and said, "Tony please answer this question. Your
mother and
father have a child. It is not your brother nor your
sister. Who is it?"
Without a pause he answered, "That would be me."
"Very good," she said.
When Bush returned home he asked Dick Cheney, his vice president,
the same
question. "Dick, answer this for me.
Your mother and your father have a child. It is not your
brother nor your
sister. Who is it?" "I'm not
sure," Cheney replied. "Let me get back to you on
that one."
Cheney asked all his advisors, but none could give him an answer.
Finally,
in the men's room, he recognized Colin Powell's shoes in
the next stall.
He shouts,
"Colin, can you answer this question for me?
Your mother and father have a
child and it's not your brother nor your sister. Who is
it?" Colin yells
back, "That's easy. It's me!" Cheney
smiles, and says,"Thanks!"
Cheney rushed back to speak with Bush. "Say, I did
some research and I have
the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Bush got up, stomped over to Cheney and angrily yelled into his
face, "No,
you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
