Bush is hanging out with the Queen of
England. He asks her: "How do you 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 replies: "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 says:
"Well, that would be me."

The Queen smiles and says: "Very good, thank
you!"

So, back at the White House, Bush is a bit puzzled. So, he asks to
speak with Dick Cheney: "Hey Dick, answer this for me,
would ya? Your mother and your 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 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 ColinPowel's shoes in the next stall over. So 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 you sister. Who is
it?"

Colin Powel flushes, and yells back: "Hey,
that's easy... it's me!"

Dick Cheney smiles and yells: "Thanks!"

So, Cheney goes back into the Oval
Office and tells Bush: "Hey, I finally figured out the answer to that riddle!
It's Colin Powell!"

Bush yells right in Dick's face: "No, you idiot! It's
Tony Blair!"
