Got this in an e-mail. I think you all will enjoy it. It is a bit dated, but still funny. And quite possibly true!
Queen’s riddle
Barack Obama met with the Queen of England.
He asked her, “Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can to me?”
“Well,” Said the Queen, “The most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people.”
Obama frowned, and then asked, “But how to I know the people around me are really intelligent?”
The Queen took a sip of tea. “Oh, that’s easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle.”
The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. “Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?”
Tony Blair walked into the room and said, “Yes, Your Majesty?”
The Queen smiled and said, “Answer me this please, Tony, you mother and father have a child. It is not your brother, and it is not your sister.”
“Who is it?” the Queen asked.
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, “That would be me.”
“Yes, very good,” said the Queen.
Obama went back home to ask Joe Biden, his vice presidential choice the same question. “Joe, answer this for me. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother, and it is not your sister.”
“Who is it?” asked the President.
“I’m not sure,” said Biden. “Let me get back to you on that one.” He went to his advisors and asked everyone, but none could give him and answer.
Finally, Biden ran into Sarah Palin out eating one night. Biden asked, “Sarah, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother, and it is not your sister.”
“Who is it?” asked the Vice-President.
Sarah Palin answered right back, “That’s easy, it’s me.”
Biden smiled, and said, “Thanks!” Then, he went back to speak with Obama. “Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It’s Sarah Palin!”
Obama got up, stomped over to Biden, and angrily yelled into his face.
“No!
“You Idiot!
“It’s Tony Blair!”
