While visiting England, George 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.

  Bush asks how she knows if they're intelligent.

  "I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow
me to demonstrate."

  Bush watches as the Queen 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, ma'am."

  "Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up
and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"

  Bush nods: "Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"


  Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he'd better put the
Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. Bush
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?"

  Bush poses the question: "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, finds George
Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's
Colin Powell!" 

  And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb sh*t, it's Tony Blair!"
