>While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the
>Queen.
>
>He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is
>to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if
>they're intelligent.
>
>"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow
>me to demonstrate."
>
>She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer
>this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and
>this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"
>
>Tony Blair responds ,"It's me, your Majesty."
>
>" Correct. Thank you and good-bye, Mr. Prime Minister, " says the
>Queen.
>
>She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"
>
>"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"
>
>Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman
>of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons
>Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder
>if you can answer a question for me."
>
>"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
>
>"Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this
>child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
>
>Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get
>back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves.
>
>He immediately calls a meeting of other senior Republican senators,
>and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody
>can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls
>Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.
>
>"Now lookee here, son, your mother has a child, and your father has
>a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
>
>Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course"
>
>Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims,
>"I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"
>
>And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, it's Tony Blair!"
