George Bush meets with the English Queen.

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. Just ask them to answer 
an intelligent riddle."

The Queen pushes a button on her intercom.  "Please send Tony Blair in 
here, would you?"

Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?"

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, "Well, your Majesty, 
that would be me."

"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.

Bush goes back home to ask Dick Cheney, his vice president, the same 
question. "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 Cheney, "let me get back to you on that one."

Cheney goes to his advisors and asks everyone, 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. Cheney shouts "Colin! Can you answer 
this for me? Your mother and your father have a child and it's not your 
brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Colin yells back "That's easy. It's me!"  Cheney smiles and says "Thanks!"

Then, Cheney goes back to speak with Bush. "Say, I did some research and 
I have the answer to the riddle. It's Colin Powell."

Bush gets up, stomps over to Cheney and angrily yells into his face "No, 
you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
