Who is it?
George W. Bush's Intelligence Quiz 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, ma'am."
"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," 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?"
"Uh, 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 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 look here Colin Powell, 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,
you dumb ass." 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, you dumb a**, It's
Tony Blair!"
