intelligent quiz

Barak Obama 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."



Obama 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 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,

"That would be me."



"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.



Obama goes back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice

president, the same

question.



"Joe. 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 Biden. "Let me get back to you on

that one." He 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.



Biden asks Powell, "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!"



Biden smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, he goes back

to speak with Obama.



"Say, I did some research and I have the answer to

that riddle. It's Colin

Powell."



Obama gets up, stomps over to Biden, and angrily yells

into his face, "No,

you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
