George W. Bush visits the Queen in England.
He asks her: "Her Majesty, you run such a successful country, could you
give me some tips?" The Queen replies "Well, yes. The most important
thing is to be surrounded by intelligent people." George W. Bush frowns
and asks "But how do I know which people are intelligent?". The Queen
sips at her tee and replies "That is very simple. They have to solve a
simple riddle". She calls for Tony Blair. As soon as he enters the
Queen's office, she asks him "Tony, please answer the following
question: your mother and your father have a child. Is is neither your
brother, nor your sister. Who is it?" Without any hesitation Tony Blair
replies "That's me!". The Queen smiles and sais "Very well! You see, Mr.
Bush, it is very easy."
Back in the White House George Bush calls for his vice president, Dick
Cheney. "Hey Dick, your mother and your father have a child, but it's
neither your brother nor your sister. Who is it?". Dick seems to be
confused and answers "Let me think about it". He asks all his
co-workers, but no one can help him. Finally he meets Colin Powell in
the men's toilet and asks him "Hey, Colin, your parents have a child,
but it's neither your brother nor your sister. Do you know who it is?".
Colin Powell replies "Sure, that's me".
Smiling Dick Cheney goes back to George W. Bush's office and sais "Hey,
George, I know the answer - it's Colin Powell!".
George W. Bush gets angry and sais "You idiot! It's not Colin Powell,
it's Tony Blair"
