Got this in my mail.
Bush is hanging out with the Queen of England. He asks her,
“How to run an efficient government? Any tips you can give
me?” And the Queen says “Well, the most important thing is to surround
yourself with intelligent people.” Bush frowns, and says, “Well, how do I
know the people around me are really
intelligent or not?” The Queen takes a little sip of tea, and says, “Oh,
that’s easy. You just ask them a riddle”. Then the Queen pushes the button
on her intercom and says “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?” So
Tony Blair walks into the room. “Yes, my Queen?” The Queen smiles at Tony
and says “Tony answer me this, would you?” “Your mother and father have a
child. It’s not your brother, and it’s not your sister. Who is it?”
Without missing a beat, Tony Blair replies, “Well that would be me.” The
Queen smiles and says, “Very good, thank you!”
So back at White House, Bush is a bit puzzled. He asks to speak with Dick
Cheney. “Hey Dick, answer this for me, would ya?” “Your mother and father
have a child, it’s not your brother and it’s not your sister…who is it?”
Dick Cheney frowns and says: “Geez, I’m not sure…lemme get back to you.”
So Dick Cheney goes to all his advisors, and asks everyone he can, but no one can answer it for him. Finally, he ends up in the men’s room, and he
recognizes Colin Powel’s shoes in the next stall over. Dick shouts over to
him, “Hey Colin…can you answer this for me?” Your mother and father have
a child. It’s not your brother and it’s not your sister, who is it?" Colin
Powel flushes, and yells, “Hey, that’s easy…it’s me!” Dick Cheney
smiles and yells “Thanks!”
So Dick Cheney goes back into the Oval Office and tells Bush, “Hey, I finally figured out the answer to that riddle!”…“It’s Colin Powel” Bush gets up, and angrily stomps over to Dick Cheney. Bush yells right in
Dick’s face, “No, you idiot! It’s Tony Blair”!!!
