George W. 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 intelligence 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, That would be me



"Yes! Very good," says the Queen



Back at the White House, Bush asks to speak with vice president Dick Cheney. 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 the vice president. Let me get back to you on that one



Dick Cheney goes to his advisors and asks every 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



Dick shouts, Colin! Can you answer this for me? You 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



Dick Cheney smiles. Thanks



Cheney goes back to the Oval Office to speak with Bush Say, I did so much research and I have the answer to that riddle It's Colin Powell



Bush gets up, stomps over to Dick Cheney, and angrily yells into his face
