One day George W. Bush went to visit the Queen of England, and while they were together, he asked her:
"Your Majesty, how come you have such a successful government? Do you have any advice or suggestions for me?"
She said: "Well, the most important thing is that you surround yourself with intelligent people."
He said: "But how can i identify the intelligent people around me?"
She said: "That's easy! Just give them a clever quiz! Watch me!"
She called the secretary and said: "Please bring Tony Blair over here right away."
Tony Blair came, and she asked him: "Tony, who is the son of both your father and mother, but is neither your sister nor your brother?!"
Blair answered right away: "That would be me!"
The Queen said: "Splendid! Very good!"
Bush went back to DC, and called for Dick Cheney right away.
"Dick, who is the son of both your father and mother, but is neither your sister nor your brother?!"
Cheney didn't know the answer, and neither did all the other officials. Cheney finally went to Colin Powell's office and asked him: "Colin, who is the son of both your father and mother, but is neither your sister nor your brother?!"
Powell said: "That's easy! It's me!"
Cheney said: "Oh thank you!"
Cheney went back to Bush and said: "Sir, i did a lot of research and found out that it's Colin Powell!"
"No, no, no!", exclaimed Bush: "It's Tony Blair, you idiot!"
