<Tinkerbell> | last funny for the day |
| |
George Bush is visiting the Queen of England. |
| |
He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give 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 The Prime Minister in here, would you?" |
| |
Tony Blair walks into the room. "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, Blair answers, "That would be me!" |
| |
"Yes! Very good!" says the Queen. |
| |
Back at the White House, Bush calls in his 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 advisers 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? Your 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 and asks to speak with Bush. |
| |
"Say, I did some 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, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!" |
