John Kerry meets with the Queen of England and 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."
Kerry 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 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 a moment's hesitation, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Kerry goes back home to ask John Edwards, his vice presidential running mate the same question. "John. 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 John Edwards. "Let me get back to you on that one." Edwards goes to his advisors
and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he runs into Colin Powell in the hallway and
asks, "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 replies, "That's easy. It's me!"
Edwards smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then Edwards goes back to speak with Kerry. "Say, I did some
research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Kerry gets up, stomps over to John Edwards, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
MAY GOD BE WITH US DURING THIS ELECTION
